Hi Agencypanic -
If the jaw clenching is "involuntary" when your jaw would otherwise relaxed, that is a dystonic reaction - and is NOT tension / anxiety related jaw clenching which is under control of voluntary muscle control.
You took Haldol in past - I saw another poster also taking Haldol. These are the implicating drugs - and your Dr. screwed up and hid it from you if he knew of any abnormal movements.
You can still sue because you never knew - that is if you have a problem and you find out. A free consult with lawyer will help.
Also - in the meantime - between onset of movement disorder (Haldol or other antipsychotic) - and the present - any use of ANY antipsychotic or some other drugs like benzodizepines (Ativan) can MASK the problem. Ie; if you have been on a benzo or tranquiler of some sort for all this time that can "mask" the problem - a common way that Dr's hide their **** up's. (mess ups).
These are major issues and very common. If you look at Pubmed you will see so many articles on Reglan induced Tarvide movement disorders - and most all abstracts are blacked out.
Info is hard to find. Psychiatrists and neurologists are in the know and it remains a mostly silent problem - lawyers - specialists - also know about this stuff and are really the only way to correct psychiatric negligence.
Next site must be on this issue because I know it's common - it's known large % of neuro consults are drug induced movements - and most probably not handled in a way where lawsuit is possible without attorney ... unfortunately ...
a scam IMO but life isn't perfect ... they screw you and your choice to take it or not.
Later,
Chad
