I've had movement disorders from many APs. You just have to give it time to go away. Maybe a year or so. When in hospital they gave me some med that gave me uncontrolable swalowing. They took me off it right away. It was not that bad when off it but still found myself compeled to swalow. Even off the med and on a new one. It slowly went away. Probably took 3 years before it was totaly gone. Then on abilify I developed TD, my hands were shaky, I could not control it, made it hard to work. Stoped the abilify and I took cogentin, which is a anti TD med. The shakes were gone after a few months. Geodon gave me blurry vision, stoped it after 2 years on it, and it went away in a few months. I take zyprexa now which I've been on for 13 years and not TD. I also take perphenazine now for 3 years, I have the occasional twitch not sure if it from that or lingering abilify TD. Still take cogentin. Not sure if I still need it or not.
