klonopin caused tardive dyskinesia

I was on Klonopin for eight years and stopped cold turkey. I ended up in ICU.. for four days with severe dystonia my symptoms never went away my whole body cramps up my tounge pertrudes out of my mouth,and im in severe pain I have had many tests and they have diagnosed me with Tardive Dyskinesia. Has anyone else had this problem.

I was on Klonopin for 12 years and doctors stopped me cold turkey. I too ended up in ICU. Four six days with sever dystonia my symptoms are the same that was a year ago. Today I still have tar dive. I was on Klonopin for Rest less Legs. WOW what a choice, why on earth would anyone give such a drug.

Yes, I was on klonopin for 8 years for a tic of my eye and when I tapered off I started having dyskinesia. I've been off for 2 and a half years and am still having the involuntary movements. While the doctors won't confirm it, I'm 100% certain that what I have is klonopin induced dyskinesia. I'm on the adult ketogenic diet and so far it is helping to reduce the frequency and severity of the attacks, reducing them from more than 40 per day to approx. 26 in a 3-month period.

When taking this or other benzodiazepines, one must be vigilant and ensure that the efficacy of the drug will outweigh the negative side effects.

I was on 1 mg of klonopin 4 times daily for severe anxiety. I ran out of meds one day and went off it cold turkey. I had been on it 2 years. I started having severe mouth movement, sucking on front lower teeth, unable to stop. It has been 4 years, and I still can't stop. I have not felt the need to be on anxiety drugs, plus I'm afraid of them. I take Cymbalta for depression and pain. I know by being a nurse that the diskinesia was caused by going off the klonopin
