Tardive (drug induced) dystonia

Posted by sk85 on January 15, 2012, at 7:15:30

Hi,
I have permanent tardive dystonia (cervical form, i.e neck muscles) from taking Prozac. At times it can be quite severe and disabling, and cause significant suffering to me and those around me.
I have also started getting botox injections for it, but because targeting the right muscles is a trial and error process, it has been at the moment rather unsuccesful and I need to wait 3-4 months till next appointment.
I'm interested if there are others out there with this kind of problem? What have you tried (medications, supplements etc) to allieviate it?
So far I've noticed minor improvements from coenzyme Q10, moderate intake of alcohol and perhaps very low dose benzodiazepines. Although they have mostly offered only modest help.
Much help appreciated.
