I agree with Chemar... that this sounds very extreme.

There are dystonias, but a neurologist would have to evaluate that.

There are also electrolyte imbalances, that can cause tetany.

This happens where there is too much or too little of calcium and or magnesium. But ER doctors would have found that, I would think.

Do you have photos of these times, you can show new doctors?

I'd go to a endocrinologist and get evaluated for parathyroid disorders. These are pretty complicated, and not routine with most doctors.

Some people do react to antidepressants with exaggerated responses in the neck, mouth and tongue area that resemble tics. (they resemble tardive dyskinesia normally caused by certain drugs). I'd discuss this with your doctor, and be very careful of drugs that involve neurotransmitters in the brain.

Have you used any other drugs? Reglan, or any antinausea drugs (Compazine or Phenergan), or drugs like Abilify, or Risperdal, Seroquel, Haldol, etc?

This sounds rather extreme to me, and you should be able to find a specialist to address it.
