Tardive Dyskinesia

#BipolarDisorder

My doc cut my dose in half about 3 weeks ago because I’ve developed a psychotic med motor control disorder called Tardive Dyskinesia. I think he cut me back too quick. Lethargic, dizzy, anxious. Anyone else experienced this? Hope you are all well.

Anyone diagnosed with TD and/or Akathisia? I have almost all the symptoms, so my doc is weaning me off Geodon. I rock side to side almost all the time, the toes on my left foot curl under, I choke on food more than is normal, my hands shake (not all the time like Parkinson’s) and I feel restless all the time. TD is a potential terrible side effect of antipsychotic meds. Definitely educate yourself about TD if you’re on antipsychotics. It is a potentially irreversible movement disorder. #BipolarDisorder

I’m having a rough time friends. My psychiatrist is weaning me off my mood stabilizer because it is causing Tardive Dyskinesia, a potentially permanent movement disorder (similar to Parkinsons). Lots of antipsychotic meds cause this disorder. I’m having some withdrawal symptoms.

I’ve also been having terrible nerve pain in my back for 4 months that causes hip pain, too. Lots of mobility issues. I feel so old, but I’m not. I have good doctors, but it’s taking so long to get answers and lots of trial & error.

I’m having trouble getting through each day & have started to cry more. Is anyone dealing with health issues and having recovery? Looking for some hope.

Hi everyone. I’m so scared. My doc is lowering my mood stabilizer to stop Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms (a psychiatric drug-induced disorder). I’m terrified of ending up in the hospital again. Anyone who is bipolar doing ok with a low dose or no mood stabilizer?

Also, does anyone else feel like their posts “get lost” on this app? There are so many new posts that they seem to become old and not read in less than 30 minutes. Just a bit frustrated.

I’ve been rocking side to side while sitting & standing for about a year. I thought it was anxiety. I now have a (mild) facial tic. I’ve been reading that psychiatric drugs can cause these symptoms even years after starting the meds. Anyone been diagnosed with this or with Akathisia? What treatments have worked?

Hi, my name is aradioactive. I'm here because I have bipolar disorder, tardive dyskinesia, an eating disorder and ADHD. (sometimes, new doctors treat me like I'm radioactive until they get to know me). LOL

Looking for friendships with people with schizophrenia and other conditions . Atm I’m not sure if I have schizophrenia or if they’re just lying to me. #Schizophrenia #SchizoaffectiveDisorder #MentalHealth #ChronicIllness #Psychosis #TardiveDyskinesia #SchizophreniaSpectrumPsychoticDisorders
