    This potentially permanent movement disorder becomes more common/severe with age. Most doctors don't even warn of the potential for this life-ruining condition. This is why anti-psychotics should ONLY be prescribed for truly psychotic patients.

      And if they have been on psychotic medicines before and try to taper off it, chances are their brain chemistry is still messed up and will take time, if still possible, to rebalance their brain chemistry. So in turn they are put on more antipsychotic medicine. An endless cycle.
      Look at all the mass shooters in the last 20 years, they have all been on psychotic medication that the media hides. And plenty of other people who murdered other people.

      And even so if the patient is psychotic, should their lives be ruined by TD and respiratory dyskinesia. I know my son was never told and neither was I, and it was a psychiatrist. At one point my son could not even sit now he has trouble breathing. Now how bad was his psychosis ? Not bad enough to have his life ruined for mild psychosis. We should have been told and let my son decide if it was worth it.

    I have TD and it affects my tongue. I now have a speech impediment that gets embarrassing quite often, and makes chewing difficult. I take Ingrezza and it has helped a bit in that I can speak clearly more often and for longer periods. My symptoms were first misdiagnosed as ALS, which threw me and my family into a panic for almost a year. When EMG's kept coming up negative and the problem did not progress after I went off Asendin (which I had been on for almost 30 years) the diagnosis was changed to TD. Another risk factor they didn't mention was a history of alcoholism. I am a recovering alcoholic.

    Ok. More exercise, more sleep are good suggestions. Diet? Diet can help with healing and mental illness. I don't believe drugs are the answer. I have been injured by drugs given me like klonopin, xanax and most recently quentapine. Thankfully I am now off of all of them except for lexapro. I hope to wean off of that within the next year. I feel betrayed by the GPs, psychiatrists, neurologists who prescribed these RX. The TD symptoms are not severe as the man in the video but they are uncomfortable and at times painful. My feet, toes gripping, flinching. My tongues involuntary movements making my tongue and gums sore, involuntary jerks and sounds... it's troubling. I think the effects of RX are not worth it and that diet and alternative medicine should be more thoroughly explored. Quite frankly I am disillusioned, skeptical and reluctant to trust doctors as I once did. I am a 61 year old woman. Please consider what I share here.

      @Practicalinvestments 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nice, this gives me an area to probe perhapds for research or a thesis as I’ve seemed to notice this as a common trend
      Where people are taking mental health medications for a long term period and they start suffering from i) tardive dyskinesia or ii) start suffering from symptoms of epilepsy or sometimes full blown seizures (as was my specific case)
      Where also when the medication is stopped the side effects i) or ii) seem to persist after the stopping of medication (sometimes forever sometimes for a short period)
      But despite this in almost every single case where cannabis was tried,, it was effective and either a) massively decreased the side effects, or b) all together reverse the side effects i) or ii) completely
      So with that said, I’m very curious about if there is a potential link between mental health medications,, and epilepsy or epileptic side effects (such as loss of motor function) because it seems the more data we collect and the longer those medications are used I start to suspect the mental health medications like antidepressants and antipsychotics are doing more long term harm than good for patients
      Maybe they should be trying cbd and thc for mental health first as those seem to have the least long term side effects

  • @johnnyvo9313

    Tricyclic antidepressants can cause this to so people being treated for something like a sleep disorder can wind up with this if they are put on anti-depressants. I find it pathetic just a little study there is done into drugs and the side effects and how little doctors are willing to talk about it or even know before prescribing something. Don't think something awful like this can't happen to you.

    I remember my mom having to be medicated after an episode after falling into an depression with caused her moods to change dramatically. They diagnosed her with bipolar disorder and depression. I was young but one thing that I will always remember is how after her meds she kept her head to the side at an angle and also continued to poke her lips out as if she was kissing and then suck them back in as if she was biting the sides of her cheeks. The whole time I just thought that was a new habit she picked up but now I know this is what my mom suffers from. Til this day I’m able to tell when she’s on or off her meds. This makes me sad for her but I rather having a living mother who makes kiddy faces then mom who is no longer physically with me because without that meds she gets suicidal. Smh

I originally seeked treatment for anxiety as a teenager and they loaded me up on all these meds, including Thorazine for a few months. I don't know why anyone thought it would be okay to get a teenager without schizophrenia Thorazine.

    I have lived with TD for many years, there's no escape. At first I was devastated then a deep deep depression came and just sat on me for years. I wore a mask long before covid, people used to laugh at me and make jokes. I once had a beautiful voice, I was a ladies man, budding actor among many other things. That all went away because of TD. I stopped eating out and being out in public for many years. Long story short, somewhere along the way I stopped feeling sorry for myself and started to take back my life and to this day, I stopped doubting myself and I seem to be so hard into the wind, I don't have time for a pity party, besides no one brings gifts. I own an art business, I've learned to play the sax, I spend hours every day practicing. At first it was hard but I was not gonna give up, the hardest part was holding the mouth piece , in doing this I've regained some control of my mouth muscles. life keeps showing up and every time it does, I dawn my suit of armor and KICK SOME ASS, the right way of course, with my god given mind because the mind is limitless, this is not BS I see it every day. It occoured to me I have the ability, like may of us, the ability to change or create whatever reality I think about most. Thank you for your post.

He developed an "essential tremor" very young that worsened with age, In his last year he would develop extreme & almost violent involuntary extremity movements his arms & legs his final year.

    High I am currently titrating down off the antidepressant Pristiq/Desvenlafaxine on 50mg from 100mg. The withdrawals are scary and in a week i take one every other day for two weeks then i should be off. What is really amazing to me is my Psych put me on Gabapentin to help with the withdrawals from the antidepressants but now ill be addicted to gabapentin. I have been educating myself because the Physiatrists know not what they do. So Has anyone had to get off gabapentin? I have been taking it for a week and titrating off the antidepressants. Its helping for now but im very afraid the withdrawls from yet another added drug is not the best way to do this...Any suggestions on how to withdraw without seizures and uncontrolled yelling and hands not mine. I know the gabapentin is helping but is it another nightmare of withdrawls when im done? I'm afraid my brain is perma fucked because i have been a Physiatrists dream a live human guinea pig for the past 9 years will i ever be me again? zombie apocalypse is happening now, I am very mad at all physiatrists they are not properly trained and have no idea what problems they are causing to people. The nightmare of physiatry is real and very alive. Causing permanent damage and death to millions. If your thinking of seeing a physiatrist don't do it, You will regret it and most likely lose most of the friends jobs and joy of life is gone because zombies don't feel. Will taking gabapentin till i'm off the antidepressant be my next nightmare or can you stop easily if its only been a month? No one seems to know she told me gabapinton was easy to quit unlike the antidepressants But im not trusting her judgement any longer im afraid she is trying to keep me on medication because she says i'm bipolar I believe the book of psych is made up and none of this is real a farce to dupe the public and make money off the weak and depressed people by causing more harm just for profit ... Beware the jabberwocky my friends for they are many and hide behind a fake profession full of lies and destruction. All those kids who killed at schools were on antidepressants what dose this tell US all. Run away from big Pharma they only care about the money not you...

      You can get off gabapentin but you just need to do a slow taper
      Search for a fb group about it. Theres a lot of support. I didn't know any better and CT off 300 mg, i had PAWS for a year. Good luck and stay positive!

      there are many effects of psych meds that are not talked about two of the most deadly are serotonin syndrome and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. and also antidepressants can cause suicidal urges not thought or ideation but urges.

    Thank God, I refused the majority of the medications being given to me. I struggled with major depression and was diagnosed with PTSD, following the death of my son in the Marines, 17 years ago.
    Long story short, I self medicated often, with alcohol and Xanax, which was given to me as a prescription, to help with anxiety.
    I ended up in a treatment facility after several years of taking this medicine and struggling to cope with the loss of my son. Well, while in treatment, I spent a great deal of time in prayer and I began reading the Bible. I used to write letters to Jesus, asking Him to help me and heal me of the pain and I would wake up in the middle of the night and pray.
    Well, after 90-days in treatment, my life and my perspective had dramatically changed. Even the counselors recognized it and one told me that I was the most extreme case of recovery that she had witnessed in her 20 years as a counselor.
    Jesus had changed my life and completely healed me of my depression, delivered me from the alcohol and the need to take antidepressants.
    I didn't immediately understand what had happened to me, but, as time passed, and I no longer took any medicines, the thoughts of suicide completely stopped, I no longer had a desire to drink and I felt a profound sense of peace, when thinking about my son... I knew I had been changed.
    Within several years, my former psychiatrist documented that my condition had remitted. He too was amazed at my recovery.
    Today, I haven't taken an antidepressant since June 10, 2007. I haven't had a drink of alcohol since December 13, 2006, I was delivered from smoking cigarettes, September 9, 2007, I was healed of breast cancer, and a near death accident, on July 29, 2007. I can go on and on about the goodness of Jesus in my life and my deliverance.
    I made a conscious decision to give my life to Jesus years ago and I've never looked back. Because of Him, I've been healed, of something that could have destroyed my life, had I trusted in doctors, instead of Him.
    I'm not telling anyone to throw away your medications and stop trusting what these doctors are telling you and instead of getting better, more symptoms are created and the vicious cycle continues.
    God knows far better than anyone else what it takes to heal us... after all, He created us. And who knows more about His own product, than the one who made it.
    I wish everyone well and especially, the handsome gentleman in the video. His entire life has been altered, by someone else's decision of what was best for him, when they don't even know what's best for themselves.
    Jesus, is still the ONLY Savior, a Healer, a Deliverer and He loves us unconditionally.

    Its almost looks like a reaction to years of cocaine use that I've seen in people. The dopamine seems to be a factor.

      Oh yeah, different paths, same destination.
      From what I understand years of cocaine abuse would almost irreversibly damage dopamine receptors causing Parkinson's-like symptoms. Schizophrenia, adhd, Parkinson's, and TD are all related to having too much (in schizophrenia and psychosis) or too little dopamine available in the brain
