That’s strange … I’d think he’d take you off them or reduce the dosages

Does caffeine make TD worse?
For the record my dyskinesia has gone away. There was a turning point where it became where it could be treated as more of a habit if it were to occur and was quickly replaced with restlessness or akathisia a bit. Thats where im at now with liking to walk around when I’m standing when outside waiting and rocking back and forth a bit or tapping my leg when sitting. It is not unpleasant though it is welcome it is a good sign.
Extreme protracted withdrawals from psychiatric drugs are quite normal and commonplace and that is a factual thing. Although being young and making not a single mistake over the period of years my brain has recovered in that sense

Prolly the older typical antipsychotic you take.
My pdoc says all APs have risk of TD except clozapine but its still rare.
