Tardive Dyskinesia lawsuits are designed to help patients who have been diagnosed with the condition seek and recover compensation for their injuries and losses which may include mental anguish, lost wages and medical expenses.
Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder most common in those who have taken antipsychotic medications long-term or in high doses for the treatment of schizophrenia. Neuroleptic drugs can cause oversensitivity to dopamine in certain receptors in the brain. The condition is also a side effect of taking metoclopramide an antiemetic.
Antipsychotics include quetiapine (trade name, Seroquel), Olanzapine (trade name, Zyprexa), and
risperidone (trade name, Risperdal).
Common side effects: Drowsiness, fatigue, loss of muscle control, and diabetes
Common side effects: Dizziness, sedation, insomnia, low blood pressure and seizures
Common side effects: Severe anxiety, low blood pressure and muscle stiffness
A popular antiemetic is metoclopramide. Reglan is the brand name of a metoclopramide prescribed to
pregnant women to treat morning sickness and nausea. While the most common side effects include
dizziness, restlessness and insomnia, the most serious side effect is tardive dyskinesia.
If you or a loved one has taken Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal or Reglan and you are experiencing any of the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia, contact your physician right away for a screening. Symptoms include involuntary movement of your limbs or facial muscles. Your doctor will be able to assess if you have the condition and if it was caused by your medication.
Lawsuits allow families and individuals affected by antipsychotic and antiemetic medication-related instances of tardive dyskinesia recover the compensation needed for the injuries they suffered and the losses they incurred.
If you have taken Seroquel, Zyprexa, Risperdal, or Reglan for a long period of time, or in high doses, and have experienced involuntary movements of the muscles of your body, contact your doctor immediately. You’re not alone; many others who have taken these medications now have tardive dyskinesia. Don’t let your losses go without recourse; contact a tardive dyskinesia attorney today.
