I was taking ssri , lithium and antipsychotic for 3 years
I taken lithium 700mg per day long time and qutapin aka Seroquel upto 100mg per day
I was taking them for long time doctor never told me sideffects but now its permanent TD is there anything i can do about this you guys ever taken treatment for this? Does it work? Most important can we fix this i mean can we cure TD?
Sensation of slight facial twitching, It's close to lips and at right eye. I was tapering off from 5 MG (Abilify)
It's not tardive dyskynesia bc I have not actual twitching but as said had them at 20 MG and now feel them anyway
Can anyone help? Since I was on 5 MG, I wanted to taper it off but am afraid by this side effect. Should i just stop it at 5 MG?
Thank you
I quit 1mg risperidone cold turkey and got TD, AKATHISIA
Now I reinstated 0,5 and I don't have them a anymore
Will I get them again if I drop the meds? It is permanent?
I started Latuda in 2024 for bipolar disorde, and it changed my life. I was only on 20mg and my depression was gone, my mania was gone, everything was great. then in march 2025, I had a really traumatic greening out experience, so my psychiatrist slowly built me up to 80MG because she thought I was psychotic. I wasn’t, just had ptsd. I stayed on 80mg of Latuda until the end of 2025, when my new psychiatrist immediately started dropping my dose because I had bad facial td. When my original psychiatrist put me on 80mg, she never told me the risks. I’m back down to 20mg because it genuinely helps me, but I NEVER should have been on 80mg and now I will suffer the consequences of someone else’s decisions for the rest of my life. I’m on daily 60mg of ingrezza, which helps, but if I miss even a single day it all comes back. I blink so rapidly and constantly it can be hard to see and I’m scared to drive, I chew the inside of my mouth until it’s raw and bloody, and I stutter and fumble over my words in ways I never used to. I feel like a part of my life has been destroyed.
Who has swallowing issues??
Sometimes I have episodes where I can’t stop swallowing, and now I can’t swallow. I have to try really, really hard to swallow at times. I had a panic attack due to this today. I realized I actually couldn’t swallow and freaked the fuck out.
If this gets so bad I need a feeding tube, I’m out. I cannot with this anymore my symptoms just keep changing and getting worse. I’ve been off the causative med for 6 months now. I was only on it 2 months.
I’ve tried the TD meds with extreme side effects after only a few days.
What the hell do I do??
I’m only 33.
Hello, has anyone else experienced a tremor after stopping with abilifiy
Hello,
I've learned from a gene test that I am a poor metabolizer of the CYP2D6 enzyme. First-line treatments for tardive dyskinesia (TD) are VMAT2 inhibitors (valbenazine and deutetrabenazine) and CYP2D6 is the metabolising enzyme.
Is anyone else a poor metabolizer of CYP2D6 enzyme that is required to metabolise the treatments for TD?
Has anyone tried treatment even though you are a poor metaboliser of the VMAT2 inhibitors (valbenazine and deutetrabenazine)? What was your experience? Did you get many side effects?
I'm awaiting an official diagnosis of TD from a neurologist but now I am petrified of taking the drug to help my TD and getting terrible side effects.
