I have tardive dyskenesia. TD. I was on Abilify (the older proven antipsychotic that is usually the go to first choice of many pdocs). I started with symptoms soon after starting it. Lots of finger movement (described as "playing the piano with an index finger") I didn't give it a thought.......nor to my right leg that started twitching. The fast blinking was not even noticed. When I started to have tongue and jaw movements I went to my dentist. I was concerned and reassured that my teeth and jaw were fine. I brought it up several times with my pdoc. Each time he questioned whether my jaw had been injured in my suicide attempt, or do I have TMJ (jaw bone pain that can worsen progressively ). After several weeks of this I diagnosed myself. TD is rare, but serious. I had been doing some reading. I took myself off the miniscule amount of Abilify that I was taking (I'm now on a different anti psychotic) but I have worsening TD that in this case isn't reversible. In addition to all the twitching, my tongue constantly curls and goes to the roof of my mouth. I clamp my teeth a lot to keep the sides of my mouth from getting trapped between my jaws. I'm now having all over body spasms, plus severe shaking and trembling. I get relief only when I am asleep. I found out after the fact that I was in the highest risk group (age and gender). My pdoc had never seen it, but I'm not excusing him from not knowing about the symptoms. I'm still with him.....not many around and he is a nice man, conservative with medications. It's too late for me, but I'm descibing my symptoms for you, or anyone else, to recognize. All the best.......grey
