TARDIVE DYSKINESIA

How to deal with tardive dyskinesia? 

Also Bruxism from meds making things worse. Not being able to control my tongue and jaw movements makes me very depressed, feeling isolated

Hey @Janice_22 ,

 

You can go to your dentist and get an Occusal Splint, which is a plate that clips onto your top teeth, to prevent damage to your teeth while you sleep. So you grind the splint, rather than your teeth. It costs quite a bit, but is worth the investment to protect your pearly whites!
