Torrette's Syndrome

Posted by rjlockhart04-08 on April 9, 2010, at 23:19:41

I went to a hospital for a while, and when I started taking Zyprexa I have all these movements during my speech, and it really is noticable and makes me look as if I have something wrong but It would be wrong for someone to ask ... "what making you do this?" It's involantarly in the movements. I'm feeling this errieness inside, but i've always felt something LOL! hypocondriac syndrome....

But also I get really 'non' social and try my best to avoid social situations due to this, and other reasons.

Can Zyprexa do this? i'm on a high dose 30mg

any imput...would be great

That is most likely a rare side effect called Tardive dyskinesia. Call your pdoc as soon as you can to discuss the side effect and options. You may need to make some changes or additions to your regimen. Good luck!

Risperdal at the appropriate dose can be effective for this syndrome.
