Tardive Dyskinesia

[mrwonderful]

I am suffering through this bullshit, I cant believe I am back on here.. I am still considering the SN method. Does anybody have recommendations for meds to help treat TD? It is screwing me over big time, My pysch doctor died and he over prescribed me, any inputs?

For me, a low dose of Gabapentin helps. I'm not sure why, but it calms things down.

On another internet forum I learned that some doctors prescribe Propanolol for tremors and early TD. That would be a double bonus since you'd have it on hand for SN regimen later.

You should read this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4837965/ , but actually read it. It's about vitamin b6 helping with tardive dyskinesia. After you read that, be sure to read up on the possible side effects of vitamin b6 in high doses. If you ever get side effects from it, vitamin b1(thiamine) MIGHT work to fix the damage. If you haven't quit your meds already, remember that you have to come off easily, split the pills into quarter and take a quarter less every 3 days. I wish you the best of luck as I know how shit tardive dyskinesia can be.
