Dear O,
Thank you for your flattering, although probably undeserved comment.
I appreciate that you thought of me enough to have posted the material you found.
> Spontaneous movement disorders may develop in patients who have severe negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction, even when antipsychotic drugs are not used.
I was aware of this, but I don't know very much about it.
I can't answer with surety the questions you ask. They are all good ones. If I scrape up the energy, I am interested to look into them.
> Are people with more pronounced negative symptoms more likely to get TD than people with fewer negative symptoms to begin with?
Yes. If this was simply a guess on your part, neuroscience could use you right now.
> What a price to pay.
I can't even go there.
> Since I cut down my effexor I can read again but I still can't think:)
Your questions betray your clarity of thought.
> Hope things are going as well as possible for you. O.
I really appreciate the sentiments. Thanks for your concern. Things aren't going very well, but I can imagine them being worse. This sort of thinking helps to get me through the day sometimes. I am trying not to count on my new drug, sulpiride, to work for me, as I too easily become optimistic. I really need it bad, though.
Thanks again.
- Scott
