You'll have to give me a rebrief on some of the symptoms you were having ??
Are you referring to the arm rotation and all that ?
I am not sure exactly. I was taking celexa and zyprexa, and had a very distinctive AP shuffle. Head bouncing up and down and body contorting as I walked.
Anyhow I got off of that slowly and introduced the lithium. I drink lots of coffee now which helps my movement.
I think TD symtpoms hit much harder and sooner if you are sitting infront of the computer all day. I need to take breaks to do movement exercises.
All I can recomend it the right meds, lots of antioxidant rich foods (coffee is loaded with antioxidants) regular exercise, redwine/grapejuice. A heart healthy diet is a brain healthy diet. And of course time and love.
Nothing profound here.
If you need to take an AP, make sure you take the lowest possible effective dose, and ask for some divalproex along with it. (has its own antipsychotic properties and may prevent TD)
