Hey guys, you can obviously see my list of medications. I was wondering if any of them could cause my body move involuntarily? I tagged the medications I think could be causing this.

Lithium can cause shaking or unsteadiness and geodon can cause tremors or ticks. Its very important to get off whatever is doing it to you because I forgot what its called but those things can become permanent if not stopped. My brother got tremors from geodon and had to stop it but I've been on it for a long time and it has never caused me problems but the lithium definitely makes me shake. You can try a lower dose of the lithium to help if its okay with you mentally.

I noticed more involuntary movements after stating Effexor but it went away after awhile

I took trazdone and latuda and those didn't do anything to me
A side effect of Latuda is is involuntary movement and tardive dyskinesia. All antipsychotics do and it isn’t abnormal for antidepressants too. The first psych med I was put on Prolixin (inappropriately/should have never been put on it) caused a major dystonic reaction and severe tardive dyskinesia. I was lucky I was in a hospital so I didn’t die (part of the involuntary movements for me included snapping jaw and throat contractions) if you’re noticing these things, I would bring it up with your doc ASAP. Maybe ask for an AIMS screening. The sooner it is treated the better likelihood that it will go away completely. The longer you have it the worse it can get and it can become permanent. I don’t mean to be a wet blanket or freak you out, but I wanted to share that because it was something I wish someone told me sooner.

Latuda maybe. I was on that for a while and i started twitching after a while. I was then switched to Vraylar. What are you diagnosed with?
@DitsyDiabetic major depression and anxiety that's what I take that for
@Beabebeautiful that’s really weird. Latuda is usually only prescribed for bipolar 1 or 2 or schizo-effective or schizophrenia. It’s an antipsychotic 👀 at least that’s what i know, but i suppose i could be wrong….
I was on Ambien it worked really well. But I'm not on it anymore.
Could potentially be the trazadone? Here's a link to potential medications that can cause tardive dyskinesia? https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000685.htm
@Magpie42 thanks!
