Anyone ever had this? Is there some hope of it going away? How was it treated?

Moose72, did you switch to something else or did you quit antipsychotics entirely? I'm not sure my pdoc will let me quit them altogether.

I had it on abilify as well. I went to a gp since I didn't have a pdoc at the time and they took me off it right away. They also gave me a shot of benadryl and some extra strength pills to take home. They helped control the pain and the shaking and eventually it all went away when I got off the abilify.

I have it. I was on Abilify too. They took me off it but the shaking and movements still haven't gone away. It's been several years... Now they've put me back on it again!

So I stopped the lithium because of jerks and tremors and now I'm on Abilify.

I'm on Saphris. I've been on it for something like 6 years. Then this jerking started in my arms and hands, actually started some time ago. It got super bad last week. I had to switch jobs with someone else because I couldn't perform the job I had been assigned due to the shaking being so bad. So I started researching it. I think I have TD. Have a doc appointment on Thursday to see what she has to say. I definitely don't want her to switch me to Abilify! Ugh, this is crap. I am so tired of all of this.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
