Oh, ok. For some reason I thought you'd come off all of them. That happened to me too, about 12 years ago my pdoc at the time was trying to get me to take AP but tardive dyskinesia started coming back. So I quit the AP and started taking a mega daily dose of the best vitamin E. I forget exactly how much. Anyway, I did get rid of the movements.
Now that I'm on an AP again I don't know what to do if it comes back. There are a bunch of people here who have it and I'm really dreading it. Maybe you'd feel better on a different AD? Prozac is the only one I'm on (of ad's). It either makes me numb or the risperdal does. Probably both.
But try taking long walks if you can. I used to walk 2-3 miles per day with my music in my ears, singing. All you need is a good pair of shoes.
