Tardive Dyskenisia

Has anyone here ever had it from their meds? My tongue is starting to slightly pulsate and I wonder if that's a precursor to it. I haven't been on my new meds very long and Tardive Dyskenisa literally means "late appearing dystonic movements" but I'm concerned. I take Abilify, Risperdal and Zyprexa...to name a few. Any thoughts?

I know its a risk with risperidone and hear this med can't be taken long term... I'm on it and worry about TD.... my advice is to call your doc or pharamacist and see what the pre-cursors are........... good luck with it...

When i was in State Hospital I seen a guy have an attack of TD. It was his tongue and throat. I thought he was choking but nurses said it was TD.
I would be concerned and tell my doctor.

The pdoc on call will check my tongue for tremors and my blood pressure. If I can't get to her to go to a supermarket and get my blood pressure checked.
