I’ve been using APs for almost 10 years now. The latest med I’ve been using is Invega 9mg. But lately I’ve been fine so I’m slowly trying to get off invega. I’m on Invega 3 mg now. For the past one week my hands have been twitching a lot. I have to hold my hand or sit on my hand to stop it from twitching. I’m worried about tardive dyskinesia since I’ve been using APs for a long time and I’m worried that the twitching might become worse. I’ve read that tardive dyskinesia might be in the hands and legs as well as the face so I’m really worried. So my question is can this be tardive dyskinesia? Should I be worried? Should I go to a doctor for this?

Definitely give the doc a call and let him know. Doc might very well want to see you.
