What about serum?can the drug remain in serum rather than exhibit effects on the brain or is that scientifically invalid?

Really?because I though that tardive dyskinesia was only caused exclusively by dopamine antagonists a.k.a Antipsychotics,I never knew SSRIs do such a thing

Can you clarify since English isn’t my first language.

However my question is specifically does the drug remain in the brain for the 250 days or is it cleared into serum,liver,kidneys etc
- I’m not looking for answers that imply that it’s a good thing to have the drugs in my brain for that long (basically biased) I am actually looking forward to getting rid of the antipsychotic of my body due to how severe my tardive dyskinesia is

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
