Is this Tardive Dyskinesia, Drug induced Parkinsomism, just general extra pyramidals?

Medications
1

pill rolling - now becoming daily but not a lot

milkmaid grip - same

raised arm jerkily once or twice

forgetting and mispronouncing words all the time

unable to keep still all the time recently worsened

neck pain getting chronic - it’s been 2 - 3 days out of almost every week since about Feb

shuffling from side to side like what they used to call 'largactyl shuffle"

foot tapping - very recent onset

tongue behind teeth scraping - or jaw clenches or i suck a little

arm spasms for about a year every week or around that a muscle in my arm tensing in spasms

pelvic thrusting sometimes

potentially jackknifing although not sure if i fit that definition

i frequently get out of breath from stairs sometimes just from walking across a room but otherwise okay level of fitness

what a fun person i am… sorry guys - obviously going to a doc but last 2 weeks might be worsening

I’ve moved to a new town and have no access to psych team still after 3 months

Sounds like drug induced parkinsons, should get it checked by doctor and maby switch or lower medicines.,

Chisburrows thanks i thought it sounds more like that because not all of it is facial - no way i can be sure on line though with all i have tried to find out about

Do you think this is urgent ?

i might not be able to see psych for another 6 - 8 weeks
Moving to another town is really not good losing my psych team

I would say its urgent because TD can be permanent if you dont act soon enough and you want them to check it all out as soon as possible to rule out TD
