I’ve been on antipsychotics for about two years now and my tardive dyskinesia side effects are somewhat severely interfering with my daily life. I’ve been getting tremors in my face where I would grimace and purse my lips among other things that are starting to be noticeable to other people. I also have unsteady and trembly hands that are interfering with my handwriting and work and school. It’s even pretty hard for me to type this post. I’m on meds to combat it (Cogentin) it but it isn’t helping at all anymore. I’m starting to ponder about tapering off my AP drugs just to see if it goes away. Has anyone else dealt with problems like this and found a solution to manage it?
I kinda do this thing where i purse my lips but it doesnt bother me a whole lot. Ive recorded myself doing it, it looks wierd more than anything. Thing is akathisia can mimic tarditive dyskinesia so maybe you get lucky and its just akathisia
I’ve been on Abilify for 6 years now and recently my tongue started moving involuntarily. This is so uncomfortable and I hate this. I’m thinking of going to day treatment soon and I’ll have to do something about this. As I wrote in another thread, I’m thinking of switching Abilify to another med on tuesday this week. We’ll see how it goes.
