Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Hi all, I have been hearing the term Tardus Dyskinesia on the list serve and I have also been hearing about urination problems. Are urination problems and tardis dyskinesia the same thing? Thanks Sawulski (a.k.a. s Mom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 The actual term is "Tardive Dyskinesia" Tardive Dyskinesia is a serious, irreversible neurological disorder that can appear at any age. Tardive Dyskinesia is a side effect of taking antipsychotic / neuroleptics drugs. Symptoms can be hardly noticeable or profound. Symptoms involve uncontrollable movement of various body parts, including the body trunk, legs, arms, fingers, mouth, lips, or tongue. Once any symptom of Tardive Dyskinesia appear, the antipsychotic / neuroleptic must be discontinued. About 20 percent of people taking antipsychotic / neuroleptic drugs for more than one year will be affected. SEE: Drugs to counteract antipsychotic / neuroleptic drug side effects. Type the words into your search engine box and you should get several sites to come up. I didn't see urinary side effects in the above description but that doesn't mean that urinary side effects don't exist when using this drug.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 No, Tardis Dykineasia is involuntary muscle movements; sort of like Parkinsons. Pat K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
