Lost Boy - You have Tardive movement disorder(s)

Hi Lostboy -

I'm glad the Parnate helps, and the amantadine also.

Tardive means "drug induced, >1 month chronic involuntary movements" - which it sounds like you have since you take drugs to block the movements. Tardive movement disorders - even very severe ones - can be "masked" or "treated" so that symptoms go away. But these are all tardive movement disorders if they were non-existant until caused by drug(s) - and remain chronic over 1 month (or is it 2 months Cybercafe?) - anyway ....

Your symptoms sound pretty severe to me. I think your Dr. is saying "EPS" because it is non-descript - and can imply "acute" movements which are transient and go away permanaently (acute meaning <3 days before never appearing again or being a "drug sensitive" newfound movemment)...

> Hey lostboy, it's interesting that you posted your symptoms. Is there any definitive test you can put yourself through to measure the existence or severity of EPS? Or whether it may become irreverible (last more than 2 months after discontinuation)?
