I was diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder in November of 2024. One of the problems is that neurologists like to use their own terms for the same disorder. Some refer to it as Functional Psychogenic Disorder, some Functional Movement Disorder and some Functional Neurological Disorder which makes it all unnecessarily confusing. I was told there is no cure for it and was referred to a Neuropsychiatrist, who declined the referral and instead set me up with a Psychiatrist with far less experience, but who fortunately prescribed Gabapentin 200mg three times a day. Perhaps it will not work for everyone, but for me it was a game changer. I had experienced uncontrolled leg, arm and body movements, stuttering and a strong startle response to unexpected sound, movement or light. I now take 300mg Gabapentin three times a day, and for the most part, the symptoms have diminished to the point where I can lead a fairly normal life. I understand that FMD/FND/FPD manifests itself in many different ways in different patients, so what worked for me may not work for everyone.
