tardive symptoms?

Posted by Dave1 on March 21, 2003, at 9:53:21

Hi,

I've been getting tardive? symptoms from taking anafranil too long. When I was taking it I was getting shakes. Now, I've stopped and my tongue keeps sticking out. Its very annoying. I told my idiot shrink about it when I was taking it but he said it was from the lithium even though I told him it happened before I added lithium. Is there anything to take for this?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave, try some OTC Benadryl to see if it will settle it-that would be the easiest thing to try first off. There is a good chance it will go away after awhile. I've had some very mild EPS symptoms stopping/starting/changing doses of psych meds before.

Thanks!, I've just been through the EPS wringer so many times and the same meds to treat it always come up. Usually, it is Benadryl (the most effective I have found), or Cogentin, or Artane.
