My tongue is rolling to the left, and my back jaw is clenched. I barely open my mouth when I speak, and I feel a downward pull from the sides of my mouth though this is not visible. I realized yesterday this could be a mild TD. But I am not taking an AP.
Could lithium cause this? I've taken it about 1 1/2 years, first at 900 mg, then 750 mg., and now 600 mg. I have tremors and jerks in my hands and fingers and have difficulty writing and keyboarding. Besides the lithium, I take 200 mg. Lamictal (for about 6-8 months). And Lyrica 600 mg. (for about six months).
Internet research says Lithium definitely, but prescription inserts list TD as rare side effects with Lyrica and Lamictal.
Of course I'm calling my doctor tomorrow and my pdoc. Anyone with information or experience. (I'm a little freaked out.)
