I was diagnosed with tardive dyskinesia more then 16 years ago when I was taking trilafon and then Zyprexa. Needless to say it was disturbing. The neurologist said there was nothing that could be done, and it would continue to get worse. I had uncontrollable head movements, and tongue movements.
Fortunately with changes in my meds, those major symptoms went away. Other symptoms continued. Then after researching the internet and noticing I had a sensitivity to light. Especially flouresent light, I decided to start using sunglasses which have really helped. I use them even when using the computer and watching tv. I also take 2 mg melatonin and 2000 units D3 at night. I take these supplements after much trial and error. So I hope this can be of help. I also take 15 mg abilify per day. If not I'm afraid I will have a relapse, and then more drugs and a return of these distressing symptoms.
