Sorry, I don't have a site to send you to, although if you do a search on Medscape you'll get the written word. What drugs are you on? I've gotten akathesia from SSRIs and Parkinson-like tremors from APs- both atypical and the older ones- in my hand. The tongue thrusting is usually a result of long term AP usage and I have seen it in psych wards. This is the main reason why I am so against AP usage in someone who is not psychotic, the TD risk far outweighs any benefits, which are usually sedation for which the benzo family works extremely well. If you have any questions? Take care, judy
