Finally saw my left eye twitching in the mirror!
It’s been about 2 weeks now that my left eye twitches on and off.
I hope to God it’s not tardive dyskinesia.
It’s not steady but frequent.
Don’t know if I should mention this to my pdoc.

Yes you should. For me it was caused by high dose Risperdal.

Did you have tardive dyskinesia? @Aziz

No. I told my pdr and he switched me from Risperdal to Abilify, eye twitching stopped. Better ask your Dr as it could be many things. I think this is called tremor, not sure if its TD.

Yeah, it has been going on a long time to just be stress. If you want to test it before you get a chance to see your doctor, you can ask them if you are allowed to take Benadryl. Benadryl can treat TD, so if the eye twitching gets better afterwards, it could be a clue.

I hope She doesn’t take me off the Risperdal.
But I don’t want things to get worse.
Tardive dyskinesia and tremors can progress.
I may contact her tomorrow.
When I looked in the mirror the twitching was very noticeable.
It’s getting worse.

I have eye twitching when stressed, so don’t panic, it’s probably something harmless.

Yeah I’ve been consuming more coffee lately and I have been feeling stressed out, more than usual but I’m still going to mention it to my pdoc.
I’ve never gotten these weird eye twitches before.
You just never know if these meds are a contributing factor as well. @bluebutterfly @anon22846033 @Twialine

Maybe I’m looking for any excuse to come off the risperdal @anon22846033
These twitches don’t happen very often but it’s affecting my face and yes this is concerning.
Risperdal is well known to cause facial tics and it could also be tardive dyskenesia, you never know.

Ugh… it’s started up again…
Mine does it too. About a year my lips after eye twitching, my lips started smacking. I’ve sure Risperdal did it.
