Learning via experience: Tardive dyskinesia

Okay so maybe I misspelled it, but now I know what it is. I developed it after 17 years of taking my meds. Sort of like the d.t.'s, I have the shakes, a dry mouth and skin. My friend Li noticed it when I was working on her computer a week ago and my mother noticed I was shaking when I was working on her pc just yesterday. Today I woke up with such a bad case of the shakes that I called my doctor. I had to take the bus to go see him because I couldn't drive due to the shakes. To cure this I have to be weaned off my meds while taking increasing dosage of a newer med called resperidone. I had thought it was just the coffee jitters, but not so. It will take a week or so to get over it once the new meds take effect. Sorry I haven't blogged in a while, but it is even hard to type with the disease and that made my computer time unpleasant.
