In Feb. 2009 I was admitted for depression. I lost my job, my son was sent to live with his father, and my father passed away. I was given a medication called Geodone for five days;which placed me in a state of psychosis 6 days. I also developed Tardive Dyskinesia a side effect of Geodone. It has taken 4 yrs to recover. I will never be at 100%, but I beat the odds! Read my stories, my trials and struggles to victory.
Hello. I too, suffer from TD. It was diagnosed in June of this year, but I didn't get serious about it until sept. My Pdoc is giving me amantadine to manage the TD symptoms. Depending on which doc I ask, the TD will either get better, stay the same, or get worse. Its good to see someone who has beaten TD. Are you on any other meds to manage your underlying condition - the one that sent you into a hospital?
ReplyDelete@ Steven - No. I'm off all of my medications. Even the Cymbalta. I am only taking benadryl when the TD flares up and Relax n Sleep an over the counter herbal supplement that works for me. It has taken me four years to get here, but I'm here.
