Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms

The following symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia are rarely reversible:

• Grimacing
• Lip smacking
• Puckering and pursing of the lips
• Rapid eye movements or blinking
• Tongue protrusion
• Rapid movements of the fingers, arms, legs and trunk

Reglan also is linked to Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a rare, but life-threatening disorder characterized by muscle rigidity.

Reglan use over a long period of time may result in adverse side effects. About 30 percent of Reglan patients are given the drug over 12 months or longer. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only been approved Reglan use for short term (four to 12 weeks).

Some pregnant women have used Reglan to fight the symptoms of morning sickness or to stimulate lactation.
