Anyone Else Here Get Chronic Tardive Dyskinesia From Taking Depression Meds Alone Or With Other Medications?

It happened to me when I took the 'Add-On' Abilify and changed also to Lyrica for pain. I also take alot more meds for physical issues but it happened during the Abilify with the Lyrica time period.

Thank you for the hugs! FYI: My Mouth and my Tongue are affected. It's constant movement of both and it's driving me nuts but I have compensated by pushing my tongue against my gums/teeth and now my lower jaw is misaligned because I've had this for almost 6 months now. I also somehow ended up with something called Essential Tremors, a type of seizure that imitates Parkinsons symptoms. I have medicine that works for that though, but the meds for the TD we have to wait a little longer for me to try it. Plus, I may get side effects from that also.
