Tardive dyskinesia supplements?

Medications
1

Does anyone suffer from TD ? I have a slight movement in both hands wondering if there are any supplements that might help ease that ?

2

dunno, I may have a bit of that also. I heard it can be permanentā€¦Sometimes it be due to anxiety. Not sure how to really diagnose, some medicines can cause it even after stoping. people get ā€œshakesā€ or trembles when they have anxiety, Drā€™s usually cant really diagnose which is which I think. There is kinda no point cause there is no cure I think? Either way when we shake a bit its something that cant really be fixed or we just cant stress out with or without anxiety issues. Maymbe Some B vitamins?..

Actually there are several Rxā€™s that can ā€˜reverseā€™ it but I want to know supplements I prefer not to over medicate as much as possible plus I am already on propanalol which is suppose to help with symptoms but I have my doubts that itā€™s actually working at all

Have you tried magnesium or B6? I donā€™t remember where I read this, but bananas supposedly help :woman_shrugging:

I heard years ago that vitamin E helps. Having said that, Iā€™ve been taking it every day for years but now Iā€™m having TD symptoms from time to time.

I saw a TV ad about TD and meds that do something for it. I havenā€™t looked into it yet(I donā€™t watch much TV). In the ad they said excessive uncontrolled eye blinking is TD; also uncontrolled head movements. I have a little of both those symptoms.

Iā€™m not having the classic tongue-mouth movements or the shaky hands so I thought I dodged the TD bullet. Apparently not.

i take cogentin(benztropine) for my side effects my hands use to shake really bad sometimes, i know its not a supplment and is a rx but it works

i took 3gms of niacinamide for about three months and found excessive eye blinking stopped also i found speech improved iread in abram hofefr books that this along with managnese helps with tardive dyskinsinveia choline also helps aper one of the admins

I got prescribed Procyclidine for this when I was on Haldol, and also Diazepam.

I donā€™t think a simple supplement will eliminate this problem.
