Hi Jeroen,
Please could you answer these questions. I know it is difficult for you to read because of your eyes. Perhaps you could ask a friend to help you.
Do you see a psychiatrist?
Was the Zyprexa prescribed for you or did you buy it online? The problem with Zyprexa is that it can actually cause tardive dyskinesia in rare cases. You need to discuss with a doctor whether it is advisable for you to continue the Zyprexa.
If antipsychotic medication is no longer needed, the best way to ensure improvement in tardive dyskinesia might be to stop all antipsychotic medication. If what you are experiencing is blepharospasm, several treatments are available as I mentioned earlier. Your neurologist can tell you more. It is very important that your neurologist knows that you were taking Geodon. He won't be able to diagnose you unless you tell him the truth. No one on psycho-babble can diagnose you with tardive dyskinesia, only a neurologist can tell you your diagnosis.
If you look up blepharospasm on Google you can read about the treatments which are available.
Best Wishes,
Ed.PS. I know you are frightened about what will happen to you. Please be truthful with your neurologist.
