Unfortunately, the antipsychotic medicines that we use act on the parts of the brain that are involved in many other functions. Hence there are adverse effects. The reason why antipsychotic medications are not given over the counter and without a proper prescription is because these medicines need to be taken properly and the side effects of the medicines need to be explained to the patient. Not all patients experience the side effects however and there are other medicines that can be tried if the side effects are significant and distressing.
