In reply to Re: Risperdal or Seroquel? Help Please?, posted by chdurie2 on October 22, 2000, at 20:02:22
I developed permanent "tongue movements" from years of being on the antipsychotic Mellaril. Fortunately I was able to discontinue the med before I had full blown Tardive diskinesia, but I still after several years without the med have bothersome tongue movements in my mouth.
My question is, does anyone experience T.D. symptoms on these "new" antipsychotics, like Risperidal or Seroquel? I struggle daily without the use of this class of drug. But have refused to go back on any, even the newer ones for fear of a permanent disfiguring side effect. Does anyone with mild t.d. use these new meds without exacerbation of the tongue wag?
Any information would help.
Thanks
Chloe
