Tourette like symptoms from a reaction to medication. How to get it under control?Hi, I have been diagnosed with stage 1 chronic kidney disease and I also have some lupus symptoms. I take a ton of medication and I believe I'm having a very bad reaction due to them. Here are my symptoms...
- Jerking, involuntary movement
- Very detailed oriented when I speak (I explain everything even for the simplest sentences.)
- Easily upset
- involuntary movement of my mouth
Does anyone know what type of reaction this is called?

look at the side effects of the medications you are taking and its possible one may be the cause of your problem.Contact your Doctor.

This sounds like tardive dyskinesia...a disorder that causes involuntary muscle contractions that can result in involuntary movements and postures in various parts of the body, particularly chewing or lip-smacking movements of the mouth, jaw and face.
It can be caused by dopamine agonists-- which include psychiatric drugs, and some anti-nausea drugs.
You need to talk to your doctor about this. the involuntary movements can become permanent.
How do I know? I have tardive dyskinesia myself, though mine effects my entire body, which makes it impossible for me to walk.
You need to talk to your doctor about this, ASAP. You don't want to ignore this. It needs to be adressed before it gets worse...or possibly permanent.
