I’m not sure if this is the right sub but, since it’s related to psych meds, thought I’d ask.

When I was hospitalised last year I was tried on several different antipsychotics, having been off my previous meds for around 6 months. Started with olanzapine, frequently via IM, switched to risperidone. Because I was often non-compliant, they then trialled some long acting depots (clopixol and I think depixol and maybe one more, I can’t really remember well). I really didn’t get on with them, side effects wise, and eventually agreed to take olanzapine tablets again.

Fast forward to now, stable-ish on quetiapine, and I’ve noticed for the last few months that I’m unconsciously clenching my jaw a lot during the day and it feels really tight and achey. I don’t remember if this was happening while I was in hospital, but I do remember that I felt really stiff and slow but restless on all the meds aside from olanzapine.

How likely is it that it’s a side effect left over from one of the meds taken 4-6 months ago that’s still happening?
