Woman friend with SZ walking with wobby gait.

A woman friend who hears voices is walking so wobbly she can barely walk. I suspect its her meds. OTOH I'm not entirely certain. She told her her pdoc told her meds gave her Parkinsonism. Is there any drug she can take to counteract her gait problems.

I’m not sure if cogentin works for that but in my opinion her med dose is just too high better to try a reduction rather than a second pill.

My appreciation for you taking the time to reply to my post. No offense. IDK if the meds are too high. I just know she's walking very wobbly and she still hears voices. She told me she believes the voices are communicating with her telepathically. I don't believe that's true. Just telling what she said to me.

Sometimes walking with a different gait is a symptom of Schizophrenia. My gait was off prior to being treated. My gait has gotten better!

I had trouble when I was on Lithium and had severe toxicity. I could barely walk and was having Parkinson like symptoms
