Hello all, I started taking this medication back in September, it’s been great for my mood and motivation. However, I understand that the increase in dopamine is causing unwanted changes to me.
I’ve been dealing with minor motor ticks (flexing tongue, opening mouth, scrunching nose) my whole life, but since I’ve been on these meds they have gotten so much worse. It’s getting a lot more visible which I don't like, and it’s becoming harder to hide. I have sudden impulses to harshly jerk my head upwards, clack my teeth together (hard enough that other people can hear it), and shut my eyes harshly. It gets worse with stress, the head jerking has been so bad at times that it gives me a headache and makes my neck sore. Since these are all on my face, it gets pretty noticeable which I dont like.
Can anyone else relate? I’m definitely going to reach out to my prescriber but want to know if anything helped for anyone else, perhaps vitamins or something. I'm very confused, it's never been this bad before.
