I have this jerking and weird shaking of my legs. My pdoc thinks it might be tardive dyskinesia starting. I would rather be dead than have that, it scares the hell out of me. I told him that. He is now weaning me off Remeron and abilify. Abilify may be the culprit he thinks. The Remeron taking me off and lowering Seroquel so I am not so sleepy mornings. Lowering Lithium due to hand tremors
Basically, I'm scared shitless that I will get sick again, and end up in the hospital or lose my job. or worse. But I can't get that illness, tardive dyskinesia. My life would end, I wouldn't be able to work, and everyone who saw me would know there is something wrong with me.
I am just wondering if anyone has had tardive dyskinesia and what happened. And has anyone come off of abilify? How was it?
