Borderliner -
You are the guy from near Kansas City right? Maybe you already know I'm the guy - we emailed several years back - you were maybe 16 or so and trying out Zoloft - then changed to Parnate. I remember you were trying some different things. Anyway maybe you remember me as "JR" - I was on the Net for about 4 months during a downtime. Well now is my next downtime only this one is worse. And so far all I know is that movement disorder starting with neuroleptic initiated downslide - though underlying process not fully examined yet... anyhow ... if you recall and you are the guy we chatted back and forth on email. You had a tramoline no?
I know that at some point around there you did not have any dystonia? Is that correct? Back when you were taking Zoloft, or were 15 or so, something like that.
I noticed since posting here last 10 months or so you have been off and on here - and was clear you have movements.
So did your Dr. ever tell you what caused them initially. Was it Risperdal? I seem to remember you taking that.
And I recall your symptoms way back when you were 16 or so - you had a lot of SP - and some other stuff but a lot of SP - and you switched to Parnate and on to others also...
Well - I have severe SP - mainly - and also dysthymia which is common with SP. That is my diagnosis - primary SP and secondary dysthymia.
So did you know why you got TD? You know that every DA blocker worsens dystonia right? (I mean your health goes down - even though your movements are "masked" and you function and feel better at the time).
Maybe you have found that Klonopin or an anticonvulsant or other GABA agent also can help dystonia - or even an SSRI....
So did your Doc ever tell you when / why you have dystonia? Did you know that (at least in CA - not sure in KS) - but that the statute of limitations is 1 year for lawsuit and after that no chance to sue. That is from time a reasonable person knows they have a problem in CA. And the clock starts ticking.
My experience (I do have a DX and more stuff happening) - has been that since Jan 2002 - Dr's have been "delaying" my DX or "trying to delay" my DX - the reason is the 1 year statute. If you kinda know there's a problem - but Dr's basically blow you off - terminate you - cancel appt's - make it difficult for you to talk with them - or simply or "uncommunicative" with you (resembles dysfunction behavior) - then it all contributes to a delayed diagnosis.
Well - signing out.

http://www.socialfear.com/> I have taken paxil twice in the past for major depression and both times, after about 6-7 months of being on it, I noticed I had gotten tardive dystonia.(my back and eyebrows were affected). I am about to go on it for a long time again(for major depression, social phobia and pain) I have done some research on the net and found some useful information. If I use zyprexa(has anti-cholonergic properties) along with the paxil long term I would be less likely to get dystonia. Anti-cholonergics treat dystonia. What else could I use in combination with paxil to lessen the dystonia?
