One of the things you mentioned is your hand jerking around. Is this still happening? There is something that can start to happen because of a lot of the medications we take and if not stopped soon it can become permanent and that is called Tardive Dyskinesia and it is a movement disorder caused by the medication. You treat it immediately by giving the patient Benadryl upon seeing symptoms. I am not sure if you have this, but it might be and I would see my Pdoc ASAP. Your had jerking is ones one of the symptoms I was told to look for in me and my children as two of them take meds that would cause this as well and have been told to give them the benadryl and make the appt. after because if it goes on for too long it can become permanent.
