>Antipsychotics seem to promote oxidative stress, which is partly why you get dystonia and achy muscles with use. Vitamin E is the most studied antioxident. I'd also try to get plenty of folic acid...like, I mean 5+ mg's a day. You will feel immediate energy with folic acid. Don't forget Vit B6, about 100mg a day. That's for the serotonin volume. The rest...not much scientific evidence. Oh, pre/pro biotics.
