EPS can be treated with anticholinergic drugs (which many times cause more perturbing side effects than some EPS), like Cogentin™ (benztropine), Artane™ (trihexyphenidyl), Kemadrin™ (procyclidine), Disipal™ (orphenadrine),
> Akineton™ (biperiden), and Parsitan™ (ethoproprazine). I have listed them in order of most commonly used to least commonly used in our area.So EPS is the constant movement of legs and arms that my father has? And if so, his doctor hasn't tried him on any of these meds, is there a reason for this?
The effexor gives me muscle twitches and sudden jerks. I've been reassured by the doctors that this isn't related to the TD in anyway. Are they correct? Is it safe to say that they aren't related to EPS either?

If you're still here I have a question for you regarding the TD, more so the tongue. Do you ever get an irrating tickle running along a nerve in your tongue? I've just always wondered what this is.
Answers just lead to more questions.
