> So here I go again... I am having this weird sensation like I am going to start jerking... if that makes any sense at all. It feels like my neck is about to just twitch. lol. It sounds funny, but it really isn't. It is extremely obnoxious and it is driving me crazy. (crazier than normal anyway) Does anyone have any idea what this could be?? Oh, I am taking zoloft and risperdal
Tardive Dyskinesia occurs LATE in treatment and is reversible about 30%+ of the time. It really depends how long you've been taking it and the dose.
Its often mistaken for other things. Now I'm not saying to not be concerned -- I would try to page your doctor if you can, because it can be other things like tics and precursors to Tardive Dystonia and minimizing the risk to that is important.
Jerks are also just EPS as well.
I wish more doctors could sort these nuances out.
Not to alarm you since I unfortunately probably already have but Risperdal is on the top of the atypical spectrum potency, if you can switch to something like or Seroquel that would probably be better and might improve the situation.
