Summary

They took Geodon for around three years and an ER doctor diagnosed tardive dyskinesia. In a severe episode the tongue thrusting visibly spasmed and narrowed their throat, almost incapacitating them; instant care sent them to the ER, which offered nothing. Before that, vision problems, fatigue and slurring were the main issues; myasthenia gravis was considered but antibodies were normal.
