My jaw is getting stiff for hours. A few weeks ago it was stiff and I couldn’t close my mouth for 20min, it stayed fully open, its painful too. I hope its not catatonia, I get catatonia when on low fose meds or when off meds.
Its fkn annoying, I am too lazy to call the Dr.
Is it caused by antipsychotics??
Hmm that’s strange I have tmj but I’ve only gotten jaw lock a couple of times it sounds like jaw lock I don’t think its from meds but I don’t really know make sure to tell your doctor about it when you see him next

If it is TMJ they can actually do Botox treatment and inject Botox into your jaw joint to cushion the joint and stop the locking and clicking I used to work at a dental office that specializes in this treatment

Yes it’s a good thing you’re calling the doctor in the morning.
Could be lots of things, including the risperdal.

No same pain but it cracks making a clicking noise.
ok…idk, it might be tmj. My only symptom was more pain when I tried to eat, and they diagnosed it as tmj.
But it is good that you are getting it checked by a doctor in case it is something else
