Common Questions and Answers about Risperidone and tardive dyskinesia

risperdal

Avatar n tn 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 ?
Avatar m tn 5mg due to abnormal movements in upper limbs since 2 days(/Tardive Dyskinesia).My Psychiatrist was anyways stopping my medication after 2 weeks and maintaining me on tegretol.Now I am feeling a bit naesous and edgy.Is it withdrawal symptoms?.What should I do?.
Avatar m tn I dont think tardive dyskinesia is permanent.I had tardive dyskinesia while on chlorpromazine 10 years back.It lasted for 2 months and stopped after stopping medication.I had a questionable hypomanic episode then.Right now I am almost off Risperidone for a similar episode(duration for 6 weeks).I feel better at 0.5 mg dose and will be off Risperdal in a few days.
Avatar m tn 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.
17486028 tn?1457116819 HAVE TARDIVE DYSKINESIA FROM ANTISYSCHOTIC MEDICATIONS WAS ON ABILIFY AND RISPERIDONE MOVEMENT PROBLEMS
Avatar m tn It has been 2 days since I stopped Risperidone and I am getting anxiety and nausea symtoms.Involuntary movements have decreased after stopping medication.
Avatar n tn I relayed these to his Psychiatrist and she has had no comment on them. I researched them myself and found they mimic Tardive dyskinesia in many ways. I have found a new Psychiatrist but can not get in to see her for approx 2 more weeks. As I've read the side effects of Tardive Dyskinesia can be irreversable I want to discontinue the Risperdal ASAP!!!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Since then we found out that Risperidone is know for side effects such as tardive dyskinesia. We are seriously concerned now. Will this be permanent ? What is the best way to examine this problem ? Thanks for any suggestions !
Avatar f tn However, for myself (not something you have of course) in having schizoaffective disorder I needed an antipsychotic and all of them except for Clozaril (which causes blood dyscreias and needs constant bloodwork and can be dangerous and something I couldn't tolerate) can cause it. I think I would have not been able to recover if I hadn't taken an antipsychotic all these years though I wish they had caught up with the tardive in time before it progressed this far.
Avatar n tn The major risks are extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), dystonic reactions (which fall under EPS) and the development of tardive dyskinesia. While it would be uncommon, there are some published reports that tardive dyskinesia can develop after a single use. The other major concern is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). You can Google each of those to read about them. It's difficult to speculate here, as you don't know what the dosage was, or what else it may have been combined with.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve read into this on the internet and said it could be tardive dyskinesia. Has anyone else experienced this? Thank you!
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn t happen by itself. And to have better treatments for tardive dyskinesia identified and put into clinical practice. All of this is going to take some large scale advocacy as I've been doing within the system. And it is acheivable. If you find the rhodiola to be helpful let us know how. Because if they developed that natural remedy into a medication it would benefit everyone but they need to know more. Knowledge is empowerment and strength as well as education and advocacy.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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).
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
