About Tardive Dyskinesia?
I've just started taking Haloperidol 0.5mg, and my doctor says to increase the dose very slowly. He say after twelve days, I can take one 5mg tablet in the morning and one 5mg tablet at night. I'm at ease with this, but there is something that concerns me.
I was wondering if within is anybody out there who has Tardive Dyskinesia. Or, if you know of anybody that has it. If I with the sole purpose use Haloperidol short-term and at a low dose, can I still get Tardive Dyskinesia?
Th following questions are for anybody that has it, is getting it, or have got it:
How does it affect your life/everyday living
What can you take to control it? Like muscle relaxants
What are the first signs of it? So I know to stop the drug.
How long does it take to develop it? How lots weeks or months or years can you go before the problem starts? I ask this because I'm only on this drug until I can carry put on Clozapine.
Do you still have quality of life/or is it a 24 hour round the clock illness?
Do you achieve it in the face before you grasp it in the limbs?
Well, I think thats satisfactory questions for now. But, don't refer me to Wikipedia, because I've already done that. I would like some responses from physical life people. Somebody/anybody can you please add as much detail to your answers.
I really, really have need of help with this. I don't want to end up within the nut house. So, if there is anything you think I should know, tell me.
I've hear you can get Tardive Dyskinesia from the new anti-psychotics too. Thats alarming, because I've been on Seroquel for 2-3 years.
Anyway, looking forward to your responses. Everybody is make the acquaintance of to put their bit in.
Thanks.
