How are you feeling now?
Dystonia are involuntary, sustained deviation in posture about one or more joints. Postures attained are often bizarre, with forceful extensions and twisting. Dystonia may be generalized or focal (e.g., spasmodic torticollis, blepharospasm).
If you feel that you are having that dystonic posture in spite of being on medicines, then it is safe not to drive at all.
Symptoms may respond to high doses of anti-cholinergics, benzodiazepines, Baclofen, and anticonvulsants. Local injection of botulinum toxin is effective in certain focal dystonias.
Hope this helps.
I would be interested to know the progress.
Bye.
