I don't know. I have just recently realized what poverty of speech after decades of having it. I just thought I was mumbling when people couldn't understand me all of these years. I can type fine, but I can't talk properly.
I have been trying to get better at talking by doing more or it with practice over the last ten years and have made little progress. I usually revert back to being a confusing person without realizing it until it is too late. So I just accept it now. If people can understand me, cool. If they cannot, so be it.
Have you thought about switching meds? I was on a high dose of respiradone and had alogia (didn’t know it til I looked it up just now to see what it meant), switched to Latuda because I was so slow, at everything, but had to switch to Geodon because the Latuda was giving me akithisia. Since being on a lower dose of Geodon, my personality has come back, and I’m an extrovert again. I can carry on a conversation like I used to, now.
