Dyskinesia…?

[user57631]

I’m having trouble with my arms and legs, sometimes my neck. This am, could barely get 1 coffee. Left arm keeps going up by itself, legs are useless, etc. Psydocs (that term ok?) diagnosed me with Bipolar II, back in the 2010s. Had me taking Clonazepam 80mg for @ 18 months. Then went thru ‘mood stabilizers’ (Lamotrigine, Abilify, couple others I can’t remember). Had some dyskinesia for a while but it stopped.

Now started again, plus headaches, cold feet and hands. I’m 65, with diabetes and a heart condition, had a 3x bypass at 39… oh yeah, PTSD too of course…

Could all the crap the docs gave be part cause of this now?

Potential nerve damage?

Worth seeing your doctor. Pretty dangerous to take medical advice for nervous system stuff over the internet. And you’re worth helping properly.

Contact your doctor. I was successfully tapered off under medical supervision. In 2017 from clonazepam. No problems. I have a seizure risk. No seizure activity during taper. Took 8 months. One of the better decisions I made. I take now for seizure prophylaxis lamotrigine ER 100 mg daily. I have none of the symptoms you describe. I also take escitalopram 20 mg daily.
