Common Questions and Answers about Aricept tardive dyskinesia
aricept
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).
Yes I have advanced tardive dystonia and have been tried on all available treatments and many in clinical study. More commonly used treatments include Bachlophen. Aricept, Requip, Symmetryl and Mirapex. I was not tried on Xenazine which can be used due to the risk of depression but that has shown to be helpful. Botox injections can be used depending if the spasmic activity is localized. I am on the Catapres application which has shown to be helpful.
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.
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.
Those are standard anti-depressents. However, I personally know about Aricept because I tried it for tardive dyskinesia and had a pretty poor response. My grandfather was prescribed Aricept for age related memory loss after a cardiovascular impairment. He couldn't tolerate it either. That doesn't mean at all its the wrong medication generally. Its just it has a fair amount of side effects for some people.
And there are a fair number of stomach medications of a specific class such as Reglan to avoid as well (this is medically confirmed).
Its good that you are still enjoying life and excercising. Tardive dyskinesia is not reversible but is treatable. Klonopin is helpful on tardive dyskinesia. I take it as well. But some of the other treatments are more effective on myoclonic spasms and might have less side effects. I would definitely suggest seeing a neurologist who is a trained movement disorders specialist so they could see what exactly happenned and what could help you most.
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.
mild muscle twitches and dry eye. I am terrified that I now have benign essential blepharospasm or tardive dyskinesia. If so, are they reversible & not permanent? I am 59 and have always had more than normal blinking, however not with pain around the eyes. I have since read that antihistamines can trigger BEB, and that antidepressants & anti-pyschotics can cause tardive dyskinesia. I also take 50 mg. of Trazadone at bedtime for sleep.
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!
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

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).
t go away after a while ask your neurologist about tardive dyskinesia. If you are diagnosed the treatments I am on for it are very helpful. A trained movement disorders specialist could make a diagnosis. Google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia" but don't scare yourself. It could easily be something temporary such as akathesia and go away. But one important thing to realize is that you do need medication.
he has missed his doses for 2 days and now came home from summercamp with signs of tardive dyskinesia. Is this because of stopping the risperidone or has the risperidone been masking the tardive dyskinesia ?
This term was first used somewhat after the invention of Thorazine (when higher doses of antipsychotics were used and there was less of an understanding of side effects both short term and long term of antipsychotics) because the idea of medications creating Parkinsonism had not occured before) There are many clinical terms for the various types of extra pyramidal side effects and aspects of tardive and this specific one means that if a person encounters that it may be tardive dyskinesia.
ve read into this on the internet and said it could be tardive dyskinesia. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you!
It would be important to discuss this with his psychiatrist to rule out the potential of tardive dyskinesia. This is a long term movement disorder that can be caused by this medication. This can become more evident when a medication dose is lowered or discontinued. A neurologist who is a trained movement disorders specialist would be able best able to diagnose and treat this potential concern. Also if it is noted you could discuss potential options with his psychiatrist.
All antipsychotics except for Clozaril can cause tardive dyskinesia. Many anti-depressents can cause temporary movement disorders such as akathesia and dystonia which are not of concern and can be treated with side effect pills. The only known anti-depressent that can cause tardive dyskinesia is Tradazone and that is extremely rare that that happens. For more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia".
So we are lowering my medication, because I am afraid I will get tardive dyskinesia. I am currently taking Seroquel 700 mg and Lamictal 250. I have previously been on several antipsychotics, and that is what scares me. Less than a year ago, I was also taking 4 mg of Risperdal. I'm scared that I will get antipsychotic-withdrawal-induced tardive dyskenisia. What are the symptoms of withdrawal and how would withdrawal TD manifest itself?
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.
I have tardive dyskinesia which is clinically similar to Parkinson's and I have tardive akathesia which is similar to restless legs syndrome but it would depend on the cause of it. If its clinically similar to Parkinson's, I did not find Bachlophen, Mirapex, Aricept and Requip to be of help but many people do. I was ruled out for Tetrabenzene and Namenda but those have shown to be of help.
Tardive dyskinesia is irreversible. I have severe forms of it including tardive dystonia, tardive akathesia, tardive myoclonus, tardive tourretticism and tardive psychosis which is a study criteria being researched by a clinicl neurologist. All of these have been clinically confirmed. However, I have found Zofran to be incredibly effective and my neurologist has achieved excellent results from it. There are many other treatments out there.
