I Am Looking For Anyone Else Who Is Dealing With Tardive Dyskinesia

Some of the older medications, Thorazine,haldol,tricyclics can cause a condition called Tardive Dyskinesia. I’m looking for anyone else coping with this.

Thanks for your response. My situation is kinda strange. I haven’t been on these meds for a long time. Apparently, even years after youve stopped them, these meds can cause Tardive Dyskinesia. I’m pretty sure I was not on cogentin at the time I was on them. Maybe that would’ve made a difference.

you need to be on Cogentin with those medications. The cogentin helps with the tics, tremors, etc...i can't live without it
