Common Questions and Answers about Abilify tardive dyskinesia
abilify
Abilify is the least likely out of the current generation of anti-psychotics to cause weight gain and diabetes but it still can occur.
Yes I would say that sounds like tardive dyskinesia. Temporary movement disorders such as akathesia vary during the day as the anti-psychotic wears off or side effect pills such as Cogentin wear off. I have severe forms of tardive dyskinesia including tardive psychosis (which is in study).
Weight gain, a change in metabolism and the potential of diabetes can occur with all atypical antipsychotics, Abilify Fanapt and Saphris having the least of that potential. Sometimes a change in diet can be helpful but it is a concern.
There can be withdrawal dyskinesia after stopping Ability but after two months if it has not gone away tardive dyskinesia should be ruled out. Tardive dyskinesia is generally treated with Mirapex, Bachlophen, Requip, Aricept and Botox injections for focal dystonia. Zofran has been shown to work experimentally as well as the natural remedy rhodiola (when taken under the supervision of a neurologist).
Linguofacial Dyskinesia, Oral-facial Dyskinesia, TD, Tardive Dystonia and Tardive Oral Dyskinesia. Have you been on any of these medications? If yes, then any one of them could be the cause of tardive dyskinesia. I suggest you consult your neurogist to change the medication

What he may have is tardive akathesia and tardive dystonia as well as other rare variants as I do. What helps for me is the medication Zofran, the Catapres application (though the first two might not be able to be taken together for some as they both lower blood pressure) and the natural remedy rhodiola (as identified in clinical studies). Tetrabenzene has been FDA approved but that can sometimes cause depression or temporary movement disorders. However, for some people it can effective.
t on an antipsychotic and it still persists I would be surprised if its not tardive dyskinesia but post in the neurology forum for more of an answer on that. Tardive dyskinesia exists in all forms (as I have, you can read my journal entries) and there is tardive akathesia which could describe what you are going through. You would need to consult a movement disorders specialist.
the max is 50mg a dose abilify gave me neuroleptic induced tardive dyskinesia which maybe become permanent like mine its constant permanent movement and tremors so be careful and ask your doctor about that mix ok?
I would strongly suspect you have tardive dyskinesia. That is a neurological disability from long term use of antipsychotics. The rate of developing it is to quote my psychopharmocologist "for typical antipsychotics 5% per person per year and for atypical antipsychotics 2.5% per person per year". It can be masked by the medications that cause it and sometimes emerges in severe forms such as I have where it is as severe as and clinically similar to Parkinsons's.
The reason I was authorized to take this treatment is because I have advanced tardive dyskinesia,a side effect that occurs with all current antipsychotics (for more information google "patient education tardive dyskinesia" as the site itself says "some of these medications may be medically neccessary") and could not tolerate Clozaril which is the one currently available antipsychotic that won't cause it and would be used more if it weren't for the side effect profile
Actually I obtained very valuable information here as regards treatment for tardive dyskinesia. If you have tardive dyskinesia Zofran has been of help for me. Clonidine as well as the natural remedy rhodiola. Tetrabenzene which was FDA approved since that post of mine can be of use as can Botox shots (if the dystonia is contained) as well as Bachlophen, Requip, Aricept and Mirapex.
Tardive dyskinesia is a long term movement disorder that appears similar but is long term. Tardive akathesia is one variant of tardive dyskinesia. I have tardive dyskinesia in advanced form. However it is treatable and there are an increasing number of options, some in clinical study but FDA approved and could be prescribed off label if standard treatment options don't work.
Well I can say for myself that I'd be concerned taking more than one anti-psychotic at a time. That's how I developed severe tardive dyskinesia to begin with which the rate of developing it as my psychopharmocologist stated "with typicals 5% per person per year and atypical antipsychotics 2.5% per person per year". Every antipsychotic you are one are atypical antipsychotics but I would see no reason you should be on more than one.
Were you on any atypical antipsychotics, like Seroquel or Abilify (which can be added to SSRI antidepressants)? The antipsychotics can cause tardive dyskinesia, which is a movement disorder that is sometimes permanent. You should talk to your doctor about these tics, since they're new and seem to be drug related.
t cause tardive) and I had advanced tardive dyskinesia. Best to ask about approved medications first. My testimony about the usage of glycine was to providers and they are understanding it better and they can make the decision about when it should be used from there. Thanks.
(Currently available) antipsychotics can cause permenant movement disorder such as tardive dyskinesia. However, they must wait a period of time for withdrawl dyskineis to pass. From my knowledge atypical antipsychotics can increase the seizure threshold but this effect is generally not permanent. It would be best to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and have them do full follow up including an EEG (the specific kind to try to set off seizures) and an MRI.
If that is from the stroke that would be one thing but if not it does not sound like a temporary movement disorder but more like tardive dystonia, which is one of the many variants of tardive dyskinesia I have.
Those are movement disorders that are temporary but he is also at risk for permanent conditions such as tardive dyskinesia which I have and in myself is as bad as Parkinsons and can emerge after the antipsychotic masks it while it is progressing. It is irreversible. Of course people with schizoprhenia need to take antipsychotics to function. Fortunately there are new medications in development that are safer and more effective.
It has been happening for a week now. I went to the hospital and the doctor, who was an intern said it was tardive dyskinesia, but that it would go away. On the discharge papers it wrote dystonia. I went to my doctor the following day and he said he didn't think it was tardive dyskinesia. The following day I went and saw my psychiatrist who also didn't think it was tardive dyskinesia. Both said so because they couldn't see anything. Sometimes I lick my lips too.
As rightly mentioned antipsycotics like Risperidal and Seroquel can cause tardive dyskinesia. Once the tardive dysklinesia is diagnosed the causative medication is either discontinued or continued in the lowest possible dose. Tardive dyskinesia can persist for prolonged periods of time even after the medication is discontinued.
Medications like tetrabenazine and cannabis have been used successfully to treat tardive dyskinesia.
Please discuss these options with his treating doctor. Take care!
He needs to join a recovery group for people who have a mental illness and an issue with alcoholism. He cannot recover fully until he stays off drinking but that would take a recovery group such as AA but one designed for people with mental illness. Also what medication is he on?
