Did you discuss this with your pdoc to get their opinion?
i told my pdoc i think i have tardive dyskinesia and i explained how i am rubbing my tongue on the back of this sharp gap in between my teeth all day long hurting it and i can stop for a little but than i start doing it again when I’m not thinking
my pdoc said no i don’t have it but than he prescribed me Cogentin but i didn’t take it because my mom and brother both think i don’t have it and that i don’t need any more meds with messed up side effects because my aunt have tardive dyskinesia and no one thinks i have it even the doctor which i don’t know why he prescribed cogentin and my friend is telling me the thing with my tongue is just anxiety but i am starting to think it is just because of my teeth as well as like a habit i have formed like when i woke up this morning i wasn’t doing it at all for a little but than i started again
Is this issue a recent development? Has the sharp gap between your teeth been there for a while? If so, what would cause you to start with the tongue rubbing all of a sudden? It might be anxiety but could be something else.
Could the dentist smooth over the sharp area to see if that helps?
i am going to see this dentist soon i think u have to pay for them to smooth over something so i mmight be stuck with it also it is kinda recent like i feel like it has been going on for a while but i haven’t payed much attention to it, i also remembered that i used to do this before but i stopped eventually i don’t know why i have started again tho and why it bothers me soooo much now
Have you talked to your pdoc about your panic attacks and anxiety? They should be able to address that through meds or counseling.
usually i don’t have much anxiety but i had my first panic attack a long time ago like over a year ago and it was from weed and i had one last night i think it might just have been because i was having my meds adjusted from twice a day to once a day like i am not panicking tonight but i also don’t have any withdrawal symptoms tonight so i think that it might be connected
my mom says i need a counselor so i think i will try it out
but i really don’t want to take anymore meds i am too worry about side effects and i asked for klonopin once to help me sleep and my doc said “no no i don’t want u to get addicted” i don’t need anything for sleep now that i am only taking my meds at night i don’t get knocked out in the morning because i don’t take my meds in the morning anymore so i sleep only at night now
