Reply to comment by RepulsiveVoid in Eli5 does the effect of a drug persist until it completely leaves your system? by LessApplication16

That isn’t tardive dyskinesia my friend,I have tardive dyskinesia ,basically I have frequent repetitive eye blinking,and every time I try to talk my tongue pulls out making my speech incomprehensible,also occasionally my whole trunk jerks to the right sometimes. What you have could be akathesia/restlessness ,as for the electric shocks it’s a very common withdrawal effect of psych meds

Oh, yeah, Those are definietly two different things.

Sometimes or mostly they probably are withdrawal or low med-level related, but occassionally I get them even when I've taken my medication as prescribed. I also suspect they are linked to my social anxiety medication as I'm using, unorthodoxically, benzoes designed against epliectic seizures for it.

Edit: u/bostwickenator is also to my understanding 100% correct, so +1 to him.
