Today and... he said it wasn't tics. After explaining to him when it all started and when they get bad, he explained that anxiety and stress are the main factors for these "convulsions" and then when we left I looked at the perscription paper and saw my diagnosis:

Anxiety Disorder and... Dissociative Conversion Disorder? I've never heard of it before and he just said that my anxiet had "manifested" into what I call tics and so I've been perscribed Resperidone. I've never been on meds before so I really hope I can remember to take them.

I was told to take half a tab at night but since I have a big history final today me and my mom had the idea to take the half tablet and take an hour and a half nap so I won't "tic" as much and I can calm down the the final and focus more... but I woke up n I barely have balance and it's been over three hours I think and I feel like I could sleep for a million years or something, I'm so  tired. I made the mistake of reading all the side effects on the paper, too, and that didn't help my anxiety so I thought it would be an extra good idea to take my meds earlier than perscribed. I've learned my lesson.

oh oooof that sounds stressful, glad you're getting it looked at and trying to figure it out tho ! 

1st i'm Not A Professional so pls dont take any of this as advice or anything ! but i do have 10000 years of experience w mental health n psychiatric treatment ? but resperidone is an antipsychotic, which as far as psychiatric meds go can have quite intense side effects, some of which u seem to be experiencing ? idk my advice would be to write down as much as u can and keep a detailed log of how ur feeling, any effects ur feeling, or side effects u experience so that u can bring all that to ur next meeting

also i dont know very much abt dissociative / conversion disorder honestly ? but my sister has experienced it before (had v severe neurological symptoms that were caused by psychological stress) and idk, might be reassuring to know that at least for them it ultimately went away with rest & treatment ? idk hope ur feeling better

ooh thank you, I didn't even think of doing that but you're right I should. I'm glad that your sister recovered, the only "treatment" I'm getting is the respiradone and if I feel this tired I bet I'm gonna be getting plenty of rest (sike no I'm so busy) so I hope that alone will help but thank you

i used to get some involuntary movements from anxiety and stuff, like leg shaking, opening my mouth, biting my inner cheek/tongue when i slept etc. anxiety can manifest in many ways, and some might be what u could call tics or convulsions.

like kit said, log down ur sideeffects and tell them about them. maybe this med isnt the best for u.

meds might knock u out a little in the beginning cus the body isnt used to them. i used to use melatonin, and first few times i was knocked out HARD when i took them. but after my body got used to them, it wasnt as bad. it can take maybe 3 weeks even before u get used to them. so give it some time. and talk to ur shrink about ur experiences and how ur feeling.
