Movement disorders of Antipsychotics!

Posted by pretty_paints on February 20, 2005, at 10:19:59

Hi,

Can anyone explain to me the difference between all the movement disorders associated with the use of AP's??

What exactly is tardive dyskinesia?

What is EPS?

What is akathisia and restlessness?

I have akathisia and intense restlessness (both in mind and body). My hands shake a little, and I feel clumsy and keep hitting things over or falling up the stairs (yes really, im such a doofus).

I'm always jiggling my hands, or tapping my foot, or making sort of contractions with all my muscles, in a jerky way. I find it hard to sit/lie still or do anything detailed.

These are not uncontrollable movements, so I don't think they are TD.

Maybe they are EPS, whatever that is.

Does anyone know exactly what the difference is between these terms??

Thanks!
