Hello everyone!

I was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel a while ago, while I was still on Loxapine, an antipsychotic. I woke up one morning after having my Loxapine raised, and my fingers were numb and I couldn't move my hand. I called my family doctor, who told me to go straight to the ER. When I went there, the doctor did some tests on my hand, seeing if the way he pressed on them and moved them and my fingers made them numb, and then diagnosed me with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. He gave me a wrist splint to wear, and it drives me absolutely NUTS.

I was wondering... Is it possible I just couldn't move my hand and my fingers were numb and tingly from the antipsychotic raise, or can you really, reliably diagnose Carpal Tunnel that quickly? Sometimes my hands and fingers still feel tingly, when I wake up, or if I'm on the computer for a long time. But I haven't had any problems where I couldn't move my hand since then. I don't wear my splint that often, I find the feeling of it intolerable.
