New diagnosis of vocal dystonia
#Dystonia I have recently been diagnosed with vocal dystonia and they think it is a neurological side of the antipsychotic drug I have been on for 21 years. It started with constant throat clearing for the last 2 years, and my doctors had no idea what was causing it. I could not stop. My sister and daughter dealt with it by turning the music up to drown me out. ( not funny) Six months ago the spasms started which caused exhaustion and pain in my throat. I was choking a lot, even waking up in the night choking. I’m coming off the medication slowly, drinking water, honey tea, resting and putting heat on my neck. Will this go away? Is there a medication to stop the spasms? You can see the throat/ vocal cords moving constantly from the outside. I feel like I’m going crazy! Any info would be helpful.
