The side effect of antipsychotic medication

  1. Nausea and vomiting

  2. Insomnia

  3. Constipation

  4. Urinary retention

The correct answer is: Urinary retention

Antipsychotic medication is commonly prescribed to treat symptoms of psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia. While nausea and vomiting, insomnia, and constipation may be common side effects of this type of medication, they are not considered the main or most serious side effect. Urinary retention, which is the inability to empty the bladder, is a more serious side effect of antipsychotics as it can lead to bladder infections, kidney damage, and other complications. Therefore, it is important to monitor for symptoms of urinary retention when taking antipsychotic medication and seek medical attention if necessary.
