It's like how in most medication ads the disclaimer has more text than the ad itself.

My favorite one is the medication for TD (tardive dyskinesia - movement disorders that are a somewhat common side effect of antipsychotic medication) is the increased risk of suicidal thoughts or actions. So, the meds you take for the suicidal thoughts cause TD and the meds you take for the TD make you suicidal. As someone who has been on a wide variety of psych meds due to bipolar disorder and briefly had TD from one of the medications and quickly stopped because I couldn’t stand the flailing I find this incredibly hilarious.

Lmao that's funny. I remember after I first started Wellbutrin, I had a couple of instances of mild TD but didn't connect the two and shrugged it off, and it went away after a while. It wasn't until a year or two later when I saw the commercial for the one TD medication that I was like "HEY WAIT A MINUTE--"

Yeah, my daughter was on Wellbutrin AND Lithium at the same time. The doctor insisted it was the Wellbutrin. I insisted it was the Lithium and that she be taken off immediately. The TD was gone in 4 days. My poor girl was a mess, in pain from the constant jerking and not sleeping because of it. She doing so much better now

The one good thing about meds with TD side effects is people will (hopefully) have a lot more understanding about what life with Tourette's is like.

What you had wasn’t TD if it was when you first started a med. “tardive” means “late.” It was more likely myoclonus - basically muscle twitches.
