Looking for other tardive patients for a movement disorder project…a free online pamphlet filled with facts.

We went to Gainesville to see my neurologist, the one who finally fixed the tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of antipsychotics.

 

I’m going after a huge undertaking, writing a book of my journey with tardive, the docs I saw (you would not believe some of the stories) the ER visits, the 8 mo disastrous titration off Seroquel that only made my symptoms explode (withdrawal emergent syndrome) and the whole lot of it.

How many people have this anyway? Who would know? I am lining up my sources and looking for input. What questions are answerable? Should I ask for a quote?  I’m just trying to do the right thing and prevent others from living the same three year marathon nightmare that I did. If you know anyone who is twitching, grimacing or thrashing, send ’em my way. bipolarbrainiacSFL@Hotmail.com

Picture from Gainesville with fill light from the Lake behind me! Looking for other tardive patients

We went to Gainesville to see my neurologist, the one who finally fixed the tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of antipsychotics.

 

I got it from Geodon. I’m trying to find out if there are any other people in my situation. If you know any, can you send them my way? I’m working on a project where I tell people what their chances are, tips on prevention, treatment and current medical thought. Having had it since 2007 and searching for symptom relief (I couldn’t drive or sign a check or fall asleep for three year…a total nightmare) It’s a lot like people who get bipolar disorder and have a three year period during which they tried everything. This is a good photo because there was a lake across the way, right below me and the light came from below, filling in my roadmap of a face!!!  In Hollywood I think that’s called a “Kleig Light” or something like that. We shot pictures forever. It was so fun.
