> Anyone here get TD from an antidepressent? I have seen some old posts of a few people but don't know how to reach them. I am looking to see what they did to try and help with it.
I got tardive dystonia from SSRI-s (fluoxetine), about 6-7 years ago. It has actually started to resolve now. It could be spontaneous, but I also think I benefitted from the following things:
- high dose phosphatidylserine
- taking a low dose low potency non-neuroleptic D2 antagonist (e.g. clomipramine, trimetazidine) for a limited period of time (can also cause TD, but you probably know that)
- stress reduction
- botox injectionsThe D2 antagonist benefitted me the most I think, but was pretty complex to use: I first observed this as an unintended effect of clomipramine (prescribed for OCD) and then later from the heart medication trimetazidine (which has D2 blocking effects). Both drugs first slightly increased dystonia, followed by gradual drop off symptoms.
This may or may not apply to tardive dyskinesia.
