well, big things like tics and such are things to report if they come on suddenly when starting a med or if they persist for more than a day or too. TD is nothing to screw with. But other things, like the muscle tension can result from so many things, like worrying ironically. You could be deficient in Magnesium and get muscle spasms for example.. as i seem to remember your eating not always being so good. A magnesium supplement with a vit D one to help absorption would alleviate that if that was the cause... just examples of course.
the first thing my pdoc usually says is to try to reduce the med a bit and see if the symptom goes away, bring it back up and see if it returns.
so many things play a role in how we feel... nutrition being so key. Suppose a med works best when your B12 is good... but it isn't good so the med doesn't work right. Again, hypothetical example.
it's always bothered me that pdocs don't look more at whole person health more. i mean, i love my pdoc but he doesn't know if i eat ding dongs all day or what.
i will tell you and anyone who will listen that removing refined sugar from your diet will have a prfound affect on mood and health. Natural sugars ok..like fruit, but no refined stuff. It's amazing.
i hope the log will ease your mind and help create a better working relationship with your pdoc.
much love and peace
