Getting increasingly depressed since starting Austedo
Today it was pretty deep
I have been lounging about the house with very little motivation
I contacted my doctors office earlier
I’m waiting to hear from her

There are other TD meds if it doesn’t work out.
Yes like Ingrezza but I think that it works similarly to Austedo
Not sure though
To be honest I’m tired of taking more meds
I’d rather have early stages of TD than suffer with other side effects like debilitating depression
I really hope those aren’t your only 2 options. Maybe Ingrezza will help you even though it’s similar. It’s worth a try.
Maybe @SweetPea
But right now I’m suffering with increasingly worse depression, extreme fatigue and vivid nightmares and my TD symptoms are still apparent although a tiny bit better
Not looking forward to more meds
Does moderate to high dose of benztropine help you? It helped me a lot
what kinda things did it help u with?
I had a hand twitch and a feeling of wanting to constantly jump out of my skin. It completely stopped both but not at a low dose
I too take benztropine. I take 2mg twice a day. In addition to the Ingrezza this really helped my akathisia
Benztropine is not for TD it’s for EPS symptoms
Yes that’s why I take Ingrezza AND benztropine. They work in different areas of the body. I find the combination really helpful
That’s great @Hanna_Foxx
My psychiatrist wants me to stick with the Austedo
She said that the symptoms should get better
She said that if my depression gets worse then I should go see a Neurologist for my tardive dyskinesia
They gave me a couple of names of different neurologists that they work with
I’ve decided to give it some more time
I’ll see if things improve
I wish the best for you
Thanks @SweetPea
I got off my blood pressure med last week. I couldnt eat I couldnt sleep and I couldnt breathe. One heck of a drug i was so miserable. It didnt even control my blood pressure too
If I miss my beta blocker my heart rate skyrockets way over a hundred and I feel miserable.
