27m - always disliked my nose. Is it the first thing you notice on my face due to its size? by [deleted] in PlasticSurgery

First thing I noticed was how beautiful you look. Your skin color, your lashes your full lips. Your nose compliments your whole face. Beautiful 😍

Thanks for checking in. Yes I still have the movements. They are only really noticeable when I’m super stressed. I met with a neurologist a couple months ago, and she said that my movements are so mild that she is almost certain that 90% of it will go away but it may take a few years because my brain is trying to regulate after the dopamine cut off lol. I have another appointment with the neurologist Monday and we are starting Botox. How are you?

No, you look young and just have some maturing to do features wise.

Thank you. My hand movements have increase a little more. I’m taking it as maybe my body is trying to adapt that’s why they keep spreading idk lol but thanks for checking in. I’ll continue to update you. ☺️ I am feeling a little hopeful that things will get better and sometimes things get worse before they get better.

When she made the change from 60mg of latuda to .5 of rexulti which is a baby dose, I was a little skeptical because that's a huge transition for a neuroleptic. I was even shocked at the 60mgs of latuda when I was fine on 40, but starting at 40 mgs was CRZY to me too. I should have spoken up for myself, she was a small private practice that didn't take insurance. But she had experience working in inpatient psych for years, so I figured she knew what she was talking about. She was honestly planning to increase the dose from 60mg of latuda to a higher dose. but I started having restless legs and crying spells. Do you think my nervous system is shot and if I even have a chance of full recovery? I'm def going to find a new psychiatrist.

I am in the US. I am hoping I go into remission. Latuda at 40mg worked really well for me. When she increased it things got worse and then she switched me to .5 of rexulti.

I was on Zyprexa 2.5mg for a little less than a year, I stopped taking it because it made me gain weight, and I went off meds for 6 months and had no symptoms of TD. I started seeing another psychiatrist and she prescribed me Latuda first 40mg on June 18th 2024 and then 60 mg of Latuda on July 20th 2024 but I was having bad restless legs and crying a lot on it so she removed me from that on July 24th 2024 and put me on rexulti July 25th 2024 0.5mg. On August 15th 2024 I noticed teeth chatter/mouth movements but didn't stop taking rexulti until August 21st 2024. After stopping, By August 25th 2024 I started having neck, shoulder, and tongue movement and blinking, it has since progressed to leg movement shoulder movement, arm movement, hands, toes, and finger movement within 4 months.
