Clonezepam is the only medication that helps me. Neurologists always want to give you ARTANE, but that makes me shaky and worse. I have an okay neurologist but she refuses to give me the proper amount of Clonezapam for severe pulling and pain. She is about to be fired and I'm looking for a compassionate caring neurologist. Every time I go this neurologist she learns a thing or two from me. I know more about Spasmodic Torticollis than she through my support groups and Symposiums I've attended plus living with this monster forever! I've informed her that Dystonia is a sensory disease. Yes, white light and white paper would send me through the roof and when I see a green metallic colored car, I feel like I'm experiencing a seizure. My disease originates in the Basil Ganglia and I'm overloaded with over the top neurotransmitters, (ACEYTOCOLENE) hence the hypertrophied muscles in my neck that look like ropes. I hate this disease. This disease is mostly GENETIC and only one family member has to transfer the DYT1 gene to their offspring.
