Diagnosing Tardive Dyskinesia
Diagnosing a movement disorder like Tardive Dyskinesia can be extremely difficult, as there are several similar disorders like Dystonia and Akathisia, and many possible causes of irregular and uncontrolled body movement. Diagnosis may contain several steps, including blood tests, thyroid examination, or MRI and CAT scans.
Reports have shown a connection between Reglan use and increased incidences of movement disorders like Tardive Dyskinesia. If you or someone you love has taken Reglan and been diagnosed with Tardive Dyskinesia or a similar movement disorder, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

Symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia
There are some distinct symptoms associated with Tardive Dyskinesia. Some indicators are involuntary, repetitive movements that have no purpose, including:
- Finger “fluttering”
- Toe tapping or leg twitching
- Bending or twisting at the torso
- Uncontrolled blinking
- Lip smacking, sticking out the tongue, lip pursing, or grimacing
These symptoms can range from minor to severe, and they may be difficult to notice at first. However, if you notice any of these signs and have taken the prescription drug Reglan, you may want to consult a physician and be tested. Additionally, it may be beneficial for you to contact an experienced Reglan lawsuit attorney who can tell you more about the legal rights and options available to you as a victim of this medication.
