It's been awhile since I've posted. The morning after my last post I checked myself into the hospital. I was there for 8 days. Wow, I could tell you stories about the hospital, but I won't. I signed a confidentiality agreement. Anyway, I came out with a new antipsychotic - Geodon. It works great for my psychosis. I haven't seen or heard anything since I came up to dose. There is one small problem.
It's been coming on for awhile now. Just weeks into Seroquel I felt my jaw start to clench. That's how it started last time. It's been gradually getting worse. Last night when I was doing my guided imagery for therapy (works great by the way) I noticed my cheeks and lips twitching. Tardive Dyskinesia. This is the next step. From here I can expect opening my mouth, which I've started to do sporatically. You can catch it at the end of this video.
Ignore the acne scars on my chin. Someday I'll have them lazered off.
