[QUOTE="miles2go, post: 440756, member: 6374"] So now it's pretty obvious difficult child has cervical dystonia which goes to upper back/shoulders as well. We stopped Geodon, and he's back on 15mg Abilify and 2 mg of Benztropin. I think dystonia abated a bit after a week or two of this dose of Benztropin, but far from 0. Very correlated with him being tired or manic; sometimes disappears completelty for hours, sometimes almost as bad as on Geodon and lower Benztropin. So, people, any experience / knowledge with this? Now he's manic, then irritable (both much less than would be without medications, so thank you Lord) as each day wears on, hungry constantly and has scary dystonic moves on top of it. Me: single dad, 50 or so. difficult child son 10 y.o., bipolar, Abilfy 15mg, Intuniv 2 mg, Benztropin 2mg assorted easy child's , other relations, animals etc [/QUOTE]
