Amantadine is one agent that can be used in these cases as it slightly raises dopamine and does not involve ACh/H1 receptor agents.


I would monitor the dystonia carefully and if it seems to get worse I would personally back off the agent and try another one.


Dystonia can eventually be tardive, though not always.

If you've been on it for years though and haven't really had major problems, then maybe it still is the agent for you.

I can't be your doctor, I'm just going by what happened to me, so perhaps I'm channeling a bit.
