Thanks, that is very helpful. I have tried propranolol before but it didn't do anything. Right now I am on clonazepam. I have heard of clozapine but I am scared to take another neuroleptic.
There are also dopamine-depleter drugs which might work, but in any case this is quite a nightmare.
I actually suffered with TA for 2 years without any relief before a neurologist finally diagnosed me with it.
I don't see a psychiatrist anymore and I never will again, I haven't for 2 years ever since this TA started. I hate those drugs they have ruined everything.
