Involuntary jerking of muscles

Involuntary jerking of muscles

Recently, when I am flat on my back, my legs involuntary jerk on maybe my arm.  I am on Abilify but have been for two years and I haven't had any reaction like this before. Do I need to go to my see my doctor?

Yes I would recommend seeing a movement disorders specialist to rule out the potential of tardive dyskinesia (for more information google "Patient Education Tardive Dyskinesia"). If it is diagnosed the antipsychotic Clozaril (which doesn't cause it) could still be used. Have your psychiatrist make a referral and if its diagnosed I could post more about what could treat it to discuss with them.
