olanzapine tardive dyskinesia

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.

I have tardive dyskinesia and Lithium can't cause it. If you have tardive dyskinesia then it came from the anti-psychotics you took. But Clozaril is an antipsychotic that cannot cause tardive dyskinesia. That is an option. And it can help with suicidal ideations. And as for treatment for tardive dyskinesia, I am on Zofran which is very helpful and that's being used as an adjunct (additional) antipsychotic for schizophrenia as well.

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.

Zyprexa does have the risk of tardive dyskinesia. If a person needs an antipsychotic of course they have to take one but Depakoate does not have that risk. Zyprexa also has a severe risk for diabetes. All of the atypicals do but Zyprexa is most likely to. There have been warnings issued about it after it is was shown the company that produced it under reported the risk of diabetes to the FDA.

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).

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I know that I have found rhodiola helpful for dystonic spasms, dysphagia and multiple other aspects of tardive dyskinesia. I found out about it from the main researcher on it at a support group for people with Parkinson's (which is clinically similar to tardive dyskinesia). Google "the Rhodiola Revolution". I know that it has shown to have been of some use for a variety of neurological disabilities.

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?

Neurontin as a rare adverse side effect can cause the permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia. When this occurs it can present itself not only as a physical movement disorder but as an impairment of the speech process. 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.

Yes but there is the issue of long term side effects. As a person with advanced tardive dyskinesia I am vividly aware of this. I have a friend whose mother has Parkinson's and she is being given Seroquel as a sleeping pill and I was told even by my psychiatrist that its "the wrong medication".

I have developed severe forms of tardive dyskinesia from tardive myoclonus to tardive psychosis (this condition itself is still under investigation but a psychiatric researcher from Columbia will be following it up). I acquired this condition from the long term use of antipsychotics but was unable to tolerate Clozaril and am on an experimental antipsychotic in FDA study glycine under the care of a psychopharmocologist.

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.

As a person with advanced tardive dyskinesia in all forms including tardive akathesia I live with that all the time. I do remember having akathesia from antipsychotics. I even had akathesia from Clozaril which is extremely rare. However, now I am on glycine an anti-psychotic in Phase II FDA study that is a glutamate antagonist a new form of antipsychotic that won't cause tardive dyskinesia or diabetes and promotes a full recovery (for more information google "Dr.
