Despite my left arm not swinging and sometimes feeling like it wanted to be curled up against my shoulder, the neurologist told me everything would go away with time. No other explanation other than that. IN FACT, he said if I developed dyskinesia or any symptoms like it, that it wouldn't be due to the drug which I find very suspicious. What would it be due to then? Is he saying I knew about these movements before hand and started doing them? That's just sick. Of course he didn't say that. So then what is it? There was nothing wrong with me movement-wise before. Why would my brain just decide to get messed up? It doesn't make sense but I know if the symptoms are around say May 2005, then I'm defintely doing something, or at least going to try, because these side-effects are possibly life long and very real and very likely due to the drug as unlikely as that sounds.
A lot of these symptoms cause me a considerable amount of discomfort throughout the day, they are also very real, and seem a lot like various AP related side-effects. Things like gurgling and cheek puffing for example, crossing my left leg under my right leg everytime I sit down, and motor tics - scrathing my face or my head - or feeling like my left arm must move upwards, are all very unsual. I can try to supress them, but it's not possible to consciously do that all the time.
