invega and tardive dyskinesia

Disease except that is caused by a neuraleptic or similar medication and will not worsen after it has been discontinued and at its most severe such as I have (tardive dystonia, tardive akathesia, tardive tourretticism, tardive myoclonus, and tardive psychosis which is in study) all of these diagnosed by a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist can have a wide variety of abnormal movements resembling it.

I can't stop sucking in and swallowing on my tongue and lips. 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.

I am without invega now for 2 days and placed on zyprexa taken so far 2 days. Can anyone tell me when I will feel better. I am exhausted, listless, get dizzy When standing and terrible nausea. No appetite. I also have ideas of reference in my Psychosis. High anxiety. He also put me on cogentin for uncontrollable muscle Movements of my tongue rubbing my teeth all day. This is day 3 and it's still happening. I guess it's a lot of mental strain changing all these meds at once.

ve read into this on the internet and said it could be tardive dyskinesia. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you!

I am wondering if this is a plausible cause. He was also on Risperdal and Depakote and Trileptal and Terazadone and Lamictal, of course not all at the same time. I am sure I spelled all these meds wrong. We are having trouble finding any professional who will take an active interest in the urgency of our problem with both the aggression and the onset of these tic behaviors. We really need some help.

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 Refer: http://www.schmidtandclark.

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).

If it is tardive dyskinesia the medication would be stopped (and replaced with something else) and treated. But if its some form of extra-pyramidal side effect (temporary movement disorder) then your psychiatrist could give you a side effect pill or change it. One good way to tell is whether it worsens when you take the medications and then disappates over the day as they wear off or if its random movements that occur continuously. But have a movement disorders specialist look into it.

Are you sure your friend does not have tardive dyskinesia? Seroquel and all known antipsychotics with the exception of Clozaril can cause tardive dyskinesia which is irreversible, progressive and can be masked while it is occuring. There are also variants of it such as tardive dystonia and tardive myoclonus, both of which I have and are being treated with multiple medications including Zofran.

If this concern is noted it would be worthwhile to ask for a referral to a neurologist who is a movement disorders specialist to further identify and treat it. There is a worthwhile article on tardive dyskinesia on Emedicine and also one you could find by doing a google search for the term "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia" (note as the site itself says "some of these medications may be medically neccessary).

Have you taken any medications known for causing Tardive Dyskinesia? Sometimes if it's caught early enough, Tardive Dyskinesia will go away on its own. It it's not, it is often permanent. If not, all I know is to keep investigating until you know what you're dealing with.

They can go away over time but could take a while. Tardive dyskinesia is a bit different and may not go away. Definately give your doctor a call about this situation. Obviously, be religious about giving that medication at the appropriate time each day. If he does eventually discontinue it, a very slow taper is best. good luck. Always frightening as a parent.

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).

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.

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.

Yes I have advanced tardive dystonia which is a more severe version of tardive dyskinesia. If you have been diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia the first thing to do is have your psychiatrist refer you to a neurologst who is a movement disorders specialist. They could further treat it. There generally is a movement disorders specialist clinic at most major hospitals.

Valium and Klonopin are both benzodiazepenes. They both treat akathesia (which is temporary) and do not cause it. Are you taking any other medications? If you are taking a medication that causes akathesia then that's where its from. If not think what you took in the past. Make a list for your doctor.

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.

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". That's a clinically accurate site and as it says itself "some of these medications may be medically neccessary".

My study will be published soon in a psychiatric journal and I will post a link to it. In addition there is treatment for tardive dyskinesia. Zofran is an option that has worked well for me. A movement disorders specialist could identify more. But I would ask about tardive dyskinesia and am surprised they didn't consider it as a diagnosis. But ask them specifically and give your history of taking antipsychotics and they be better able to help you from there.

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.

I apologize as they are still researching the extent of the extremity of the tardive dyskinesia in me and have not come to specific conclusions. The three neuropsychiatric aspects of tardive dyskinesia I have are actually medically unknown aside from inconclusive studies.

And they stated that until new antipsychotics are developed as medications that people who are at risk are put on Clozaril which cannot cause tardive dyskinesia. But my concern is when there is one medication that may cause tardive dyskinesia when there are others that can't, such as Tradazone which can cause it, while most anti-depressents don't. Do psychiatrists/neurologists take special precautions?

For example I have tardive dystonia (a variant of tardive dyskinesia) and as part of I have dysphagia which affects my ability to speak and also tic like spasms similar to Tourette's. However all of this is very uncommon, it may go away over time and there could be other causes. The neurologist should be able to provide an appropriate diagnosis and follow up within their clinical discretion.

Hi, I am not sure about botox but other drugs like benzodiazepines and dopamine agonists work well in tardive dyskinesia. Please discuss these options with your treating doctor. For atypical neuralgia recent studies have shown that a drug known as milnacipran (antidepressant) has a beneficial effect.
