Default Tardive dyskinesia
Just heard of this. I did a little research, but I was wondering if someone had more information on it. Is it possible to have it even if it wasn't caused by medicine? Is it the same as myoclonus?

Just adding more for your information:

Quote:
Stereotypies are repetitive, stereotyped, purposeless movements that may be made by normal children when they are bored, excited, or engrossed in an activity. Stereotypies are often associated with attention deficit disorder (ADD), developmental delay, or autism. They may consist of hand flapping, clapping, slapping, fluttering, rocking, or facial movements. These children are not necessarily aware that they are making the movements. In some cases, these movements can be voluntarily suppressed.
that's from the second on Tics at WeMove

My daughter is on zyprexa and has involuntary movements. I know meds can cause this because I researched the meds. She can't do without them so I don't know how to help her. I hear there is brain stimulation and meds but both sound serious...too severe...can cause more movements. What about changing your meds? My daughter can't as they are too afraid to because without them she cannot function normally at all. But maybe that would be an option for you. Best of luck.
Blessings,
Lynne
