It's been a couple weeks since I've been on here. Here's the latest on me if you're interested

Hello fellow sz.com folks. I haven’t been on the forum for about 3 weeks or so. Over the past couple of weeks, I got my meds adjusted, and I had some serious healing that needed to occur. My antipsychotic caused what looked like Tardive Dyskinesia, but turned out to be a dystonia. I had my meds changed after 7-10 days of the emergence of the dystonia. I was off meds for a bit to make sure the dystonia went away, and it did (thank goodness). I was offered a benzo, but I declined it. I do not really think benzo’s are good for me.

To add insult to injury, I lost my iPhone, and am thanking my lucky stars I kept my old flip-phone. It’s a piece of junk, but it works and has great battery life.

I have not been messing with my beloved plethora of computers I own. I am slowly getting back on my feet after suffering from that daggone dystonia. One step at a time. Just thought I’d come back here and let anyone who cares know I’m back on the path to mental health. I hope to get up to speed here, and chat with some of my friends I’ve made here.

Last but not least, I’d like to say I’m happy to be back, and look forward to contributing again.

Welcome back, alien99. I am sorry that you had the onset of dystonia. I keep an eye on what’s going on on this site , mostly by reading posts. Sometimes I participated the conversation. I’d like to read posts by you.

Glad to see you back and that you are doing better.

Glad the dystonia went away. Glad your getting back on your feet.

Welcome back.

Nice to hear from you. I had a dystonic reaction once (due to the interaction of an antibiotic with my regular antipsychotic). I too had to come off meds cold turkey - it wasn’t nice. Glad it wasn’t TD. Take care of yourself and hope you find your iPhone too!

glad you are back.
take care

sorry to hear about your dystonia…glad it’s gone…wondered where you were…thanks for posting.
