Dear User,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

The cause of dyskinesia are multiple.
Currently the most common cause of dyskinesia is use of certain kind of antipsychotics (typical like haloperidol). The other causer are disturbance of certain neurotransmitters in basal ganglia region of brain. They can occur in variety of neurological disorders like parkinson disease.

he treatment of dyskinesia depends on the cause and once you know the cause it can be treated easily. If you are taking any antipsychotic than you need to talk to your doctor for changing/reducing the dose of used drug.
Thanks
