Well it looks like things may be changing soon. My mom was able to see the oral motor movements today. I didn't tell her I was having them to see if she'd notice them because I know if she noticed then they were significant and not just muscle twitches that were annoying me. She not only saw it, she saw it from a distance. So I emailed my pdoc and need to leave her a message to please check the email as well. I hope she's not on vacation. I didn't get a vacation response so that's a good sign but she usually goes about now. I asked to try either another med for this (propanolol which I only can take b/c loxapine is increasing my blood pressure) or to go ahead and decrease the Seroquel now instead of in 3 weeks. I'm scared she'll say I have to go off loxapine since it is causing this and already I'm boxed in on the dose of it and the dose of my AD which will need to go up with SAD season in just a few more months.

This is not good. This stuff is the closest typical there is to an atypical. It doesn't cause weight gain; I lost 5 lbs. I no longer crave carbs like Seroquel causes. It's not sedating. It's an easy med except for the EPS.

I don't swear much but this is making me really want to start.
