Tardive Dyskinesia

How many of you have this symptom?

I had mild/early symptoms for few months. Developed symptoms after AP changes. It was corrected with treatment. Early treatment is necessary.

Been on a conventional antipsychotics for 27 years and I never had that problem.

I haven’t taken medication for my SZ, and I developed tardive dyskinesia within a year or so of leaving my job in 2019.

It is commonly ascribed to medication side effects, but this is wrong.

I have both tardive dyskinesia and multifocal dystonia. Two different movement disorders. Plus a pretty bad tremor from taking Lithium. The TD and dystonia are permanent. The tremor would probably go away if it stopped taking Lithium, but I can’t do that, so I just have to live with it…

ETA: Both movement disorders were caused by antipsychotics. Started years ago. I’ve switched meds several times since then, but the movement disorders have only gotten worse with time.
