Thank you so much for creating Substack on this terrible side effect. I have saved this and bookmarked the website and will share it on TD Facebook groups. In a YT video one Doctor discusses TD and a viewer responds that the use of antipsychotics reduces lifespans by 20-25% and I asked Bing Chat about this and it said it was true. I asked my Doctor about this and he said it was half true and that it applied mainly to those with Schizophrenia because they do not take care of themselves. He said they are irregular in attending Doctor appointments and that the drugs usually cause Diabetes and it goes unchecked. Clozapine was almost considered because he said in many cases it calms the movements. He said I would need to go in for lab work either weekly or bi-weekly for the first 6 months to make sure the medication is not causing harm and it would eventually go down to once a month. I passed on that idea. It's too bad Class Action lawsuits are not being filed against drug makers since so many people become afflicted with this condition. Since mine appeared in 2014 it's likely too late to do anything about it. My doctor still insists it was coming off Geodon and not the Perphenazine even though that is the 1st side effect listed on the leaflet that comes with the prescription.
I developed TD. I was taking Geodon, as well as two benzodiazepines. I was terrified that it was going to be permanent, but after 12 to 15 months the symptoms dissipated. Thank the Lord. I should point out that I am off ALL medications now, and the mental health issues caused by them are GONE!
The only one I know who does class action lawsuits is Morgan and Morgan. They’re suing now on behalf of a young man who developed diabetes from I think seed oil and other unhealthy foods.
Their website has a clear list of ongoing battles.
