So my dr and pharmacist have determined I have beginning stages of tardive dyskinesia from my antipsychotic. They don't know which one but they figure it's the Seroquel. I'm incredibly frustrated as this combo I've been on has kept me stable. However I am hopeful with the new med I've been titrating up on will work.
*sigh* I just got used to taking my meds faithfully and being ok taking them. So this roadblock needs to be overcome now.
I'm on Epival (divalproex) now and weeding off the seroquel.
Anyone else experience these side effects before? What worked for you?
Should I beware of any side effects from the new med, the divalproex?
