I'm sorry to hear that Cyber - it is amazing to me it seems like so many here don't even mention their drug induced movement disorders. The literature continues to hide the high prevalence rate..... I had neurologists refusing to see me as they knew they would have to diagnose...
The Dr. who made my problem worse with zyprexa (took 3 days of 1mg each day for 3 days) - then later wanted me to go on it permanent. I have SP and zyprexa is the stupidest drug for dopamine low type condition - those with SP 5 times the risk for parkinson's and abnormally low striatal dopamine receptor levels - as well as pregnenolone levels (sex steroid linked to incrased DA levels in either limbic and/or NA can't recall...
So the zyprexa masks your tardive movements well? It does do that well - because it blocks both serotonin and dopamine potentely - it can treat the most complex of movements disorders, including combinations of tardive dyskinesia, tardive dystonia, other dystonias, hyperkinetics like chorea, tic , many tardive disorders....
DR. BOB: WHERE IS PSYCHIATRIC ETHICS????????
