Suggest Treatment For Tardive Dyskinesia
I believe I have tardive dyskinesia from taking psychotropic drugs for 30 years to treat bipolar disorder. I undestand that cogentin is not recommended. Can you pleaes give me an idea of how to reduce symptoms? I took lithium for 20 years. I now take 300 mg of Effexor, 150mg of Lamotrigine, 200mg of Seroquel, 10 mg buspar and 300mg of Depakote. Can you please advise? Thank you.

Hello,
First of all, the medications you take cause tardive dyskinesia, so you should go to the psychiatrist to assess your condition and he could reduce the doses of the medications you take or give you another drug such as: Clozapine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dr/Mustafa, Neurologist
