I asked my dad if he has any problems besides the obvious with the TD because of the tongue movements. He said that just his neck gets sore. The scariest part of it is that he often swallows down the wrong tube and chokes.
Fortunately the zyprexa doesn't give him such a dry mouth and the need to gozzle water isn't as strong. Now this may also be because he substituted his beer for Ativan, he claims the no-name brands don't help the same way.
The question regarding the tickle was for myself. Thankfully it is very infrequent but quite obtrusive as it has wakened me from my sleep which not much can. I've also on separate occassions lost all sense of smell and taste. The taste came back to parts of my tongue in portions, the back first. I don't know if this is related to the tickle.
But from this experience I do believe that these senses affect our mood. Whenever I notice it fading I make a point to eat strong foods and sniff strong odours to try and revive it and to give my mood a kick start.
I do hope your holidays are going well!
BEST WISHES
Willow
