Anyone have a movement disorder?

Posted by JACJ on February 27, 2005, at 12:39:15

I am doing some research on Tardive Dyskinesia and Dystonia. Does anyone here have it? If you don't mind can you tell me how long you have had it and when did it show up and what you are doing for it?

Thanks,
JACJ

I have a slight swallowing problem. It started with an AP they gave me in the hosoital in '97. Most of the problem went away when they stoped the medication. Other than that I do nothing for it. The problem was an uncontrolable swalowing continuously. I seem to control it now but often have the urge.

How long did you take the AP and which AP was it?

Thanks.

I have some sort of problem with movement. I can't walk straight, and it feels like the floor is constantly tilting one way or the other.

Also I sometimes get this head turning sensation, like somebody is twisting my head to the left, and holding it tightly this way. This happens in mice when dopamine is altered ("levadopa induced head rotations" ?)

Any how, I'm trying to get off offending medications, exercise, take fish oil, and practice other rehabilitation techniques.
Don't really know when it started. I know it didn't have it forever, but it feels like it has always been there.

Clozapine I think. The strongest one out there and I think it is only prescribed in the hospital.
