I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time lately. I hope things turn around for you.

Sorry you’re struggling, I hope you can get on a new AP and feel better.

What happened after you called an ambulance? What does your body do when your TD kicks in? Did you go to hospital? Did they give you something for it?
@ZmaGal they let me lay there for a few minutes and I said I was okay after my fiance got there.
My tongue goes into spasms and stretches out of my mouth and my mouth locks in an open position.
No I didn’t go to the hospital and no they didn’t give me anything

That sounds scary. Do you take any meds for it? Or do you just have to suffer?
That’s great! What med helps you?

About 30 years ago, I had the beginnings of TD. I seem to have nipped it in the bud, however.

@ZmaGal it’s a good med… I think it makes me a little… hyper ish though? Idk but I do know I’d rather be hyper than td

It actually calmed my nerves down. It helps me a lot. Without it I can barely focus or sit still. Even with it I still get like that just not as severe

I had tremors in my eyes and akathisia from Latuda. Benzatropine 2-4mg stopped it but took 20 min to work so switched to another ap, no more side effects.

My body metabolism is very slow so I’m more likely to have side effects.
@Aziz latuda is what started my td.
@gcar ???

Its a medical term used by doctors. It implies a supervised ofcourse going off of the ap for a period of time to make the td go away then starting the cycle back up all over again
