My speech impediment has been pretty prevalent, lately. I'm sure it's the medication; but the meds are helping with my paranoia. So I'm just going to keep taking them. I don't want to lose any progress.

Either that or it's just part of the correction process...

Meds can cause cognitive dulling which can make you slur your speech or sound "drugged."

Abilify caused those problems for me. I think it's cuz I have a tremor disorder that can affect my voice & Abilify made my tremors worse.
