(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.
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.
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.
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

That would be immediately noted and is not what you are talking about. What you described from your posts sounded like it could potentially be tardive dyskinesia (a long term movement disorder for more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia"). The best thing to do is to see a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist.
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.
However there are many movement disorder clinics around the country that have trained movement disorders specialists who should be familiar with treating tardive dyskinesia. Depending where you can travel you can look up hospitals to see if they have a movement disorders clinic and then find out their level of specialty and expertise. Also sometimes you can find agencies that can provide referrals. The two I mentioned have a good reputation but there are many others as well.
My doctor isn't answering my calls. i've developed tardive dyskinesia and I need to get off it ASAP, but on the other hand, safely. I've been going down 20mg per week. I'm on 180mg as of tonight. Can I get off any faster than this?
My only question is if i am at risk of developing tardive dyskinesia because i have taken so many different drugs in a very short period of time. I have taken Geodon, Haldol, Saphris, Risperdal, Seroquel, and Fanapt in just a year and a few months. Also just knowing that Fanapt can cause Tardive Dyskinesia scares me and would have me constantly paranoid if it is going to start. I wanna know if it is a good decision to take this drug until my numbness completely subsides and then stop it.
However, there are antipsychotics in this class called the NMDA receptor modulates in Phase II study that are primary antipsychotics that when approved in the coming years will not cause tardive dyskinesia or diabetes and promote a fuller recovery. In the meantime, tardive dyskinesia, being neurological is treatable. You should obtain a referral to a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist and I could give you more information on what treats tardive to bring to time.
there is something called EPS, extra pyramidal symptoms, which is a side effect of certain psychiatric medications. There is also tardive dyskinesia, which is a long term, irreversible side effect of those medications. I was on 40 mg of paxil without the shaking of the hands. i dont think its EPS, or tardive dyskinesia to be honest with you. I think its similar to what was happening to me with the haldol in that its just too much for your body to handle and it is causing hand shaking.
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.
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.
and up dose on trazodone and vistaril. Still not better up dose on Geodon. Still worse with bad panic attacks,tardive dyskinesia, anger and rage, hot as fire most time. Can't take no more. And hallucinations. Dr. Said Xanax would make me worse(but helped) for years. Still seeing things, my rage feelings arescaring me and my hands shake most of time and have tics real bad. What do I do now? I feel like I'm going to explode or go crazy.
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!
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).
i have PTSD from combat and i take zoloft for this and i suffer from flashbacks and nightmares i also have schizophrenia and tardive dyskinesia i take geodon and congentin for this.
s not always permanent however but it can be. I already knew the basics of Tardive Dyskinesia I was wondering if the inability to move the eyes runs the same risk of being permanent as the Tardive Dyskinesia does.
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 ?
The use of b vitamins for schizophrenia is part of orthomolecular psychiatry which was found to be clinically inconclusive. However I take glycine (which is an amino acid in Phase II FDA study as an adjunct antipsychotic) as part of a controlled study. For more information google "Dr. Javitt, glycine".
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).
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.
