Thats all I can say, does anyone know what might be causing this, it makes it awefully difficult to type.

> LinkadgeI don't know your medicine regime so its hard to say.. I'm sure the regular "experts" here can chime in... ed ?... But what you're experiencing might be what is clinically known as "torticollis" and is either caused by severe traumas such as accidents or by medicines such as antipsychotics / neuroleptics. If its the latter, I would be quick to notify your doctor if it persists.
Hope that helps, I'm sorry you're experiencing this.

It is really messed up. Periodically through the day, I feel as if somebody is twisting my head. I sit down, and get relief by moving it to the left and keeping it there.
It is difficult/painfull to try and straighten it out, so I wait for a while. After time/coffee it eases up a bit. I had this before and it is always to the left.

I think I would call your doc if I were you. It sounds very uncomfortable. I hope you find some relief soon.

No ap at this point. Lithium, clomipramine
although I'm getting off the clomipramine, I don't want to have a seizure.
