What are You doing right now?

Dreading the next few days because of (minor?) health complications for the Princess Royal.

I send best wishes to the three of you.

Evidently the Princess Royal is susceptible to the tardive dyskinesia (uncontrollable muscle movements) reaction in some anti-psychotic drugs.  So far she's had this reaction to 3 drugs.  So now she's miserable with head twisting/jerking (intermittent thankfully) until the medication clears her system.  It's been about 24 to 30 hours and has a (?) while to go.  The treatment is OTC Benadryl, so she's going to be sleepy as well.  I just have to be with her when they occur, about 2 or 3 times an hour.  Boring as all get out for me, but much worse for her.

Ah, I have heard about that and I'm sorry your Princess is so uncomfortable. Glad she has you.

You don't want to know what some of our more ambidextrous members have posted.  I'm not mentioning any names

No fun. I hope they find a drug that works without the side effects.

Well, it got worse this morning, going on constantly over 2 hours.  Called the psychiatrist (whom I'm beginning to love dearly) and he's prescribed Xanax as a temporary solution.  The head twisting may be a sign of severe anxiety or depression since the Benedryl isn't slowing/stopping the movement.  I'm going to pamper her and make her feel as little stress as possible to see if that helps.

That is why I am on a low dose of haloperidol, any higher and I start to stiffen up. Risperdal made me get loads of twitches in my arms. It is a weird experience. Hope the Xanax works for your Princess.

Yes, I hope she will soon be in royal spirits again!
