Tardive Dyskinesia?

Support Needed :nervous:

I need some answers, maybe some support?

I started antipsychotics about a month and a half ago, this came and went pretty quickly. The first I tried was absolutely amazing, but after a few weeks I noticed some twitching in my eyelids, it started in one and ended up moving to both. After about a week of this, I had an appointment with my doctor where I brought it up and he had me switch to a different antipsychotic immediately. The second and final antipsychotic I will ever be on lasted all of about one week, I started experiencing akathisia, I immediately came off of the second one following my psychs instructions.

The akathisia, while extremely uncomfortable, went away after a few weeks, but the twitching has stayed. Both eyelids twitch almost constantly every single day, and it is driving me absolutely nuts.

Does this go away? Is there anything that could help? I'm losing my mind over it.
