AbilifyedBunny Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hello Crazyboards forum, I was wondering if anyone has experienced facial paralysis or bells palsy type symptoms caused by meds? I know that tardive dyskinesia can be a side effect but I am not sure about facial paralysis and nerve disorders. What about facial twitching? I am not talking about tardive dyskinesia, tremors, ticks, grimmaces, tongue movements and things like that...I am talking about a part of one's face literally twitching.

notloki Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Abilify has listed as an infrequent side effect (1/100 to 1/1000) facial palsy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really? I was on the Abilify website last night and I scoured through the entire "full prescribing information"/"boxed warning"/"medication guide" page and I did not see it there. I am not denying that what you say is true, I'm just saying that I didn't see it on their website where they listed all of the potential side effects. Where did you find that information?

It is in the PI as facial palsy, you missed it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By "PI" do you mean "Prescribing Information"? I thoroughly checked this section of the website again and I didn't see it. What page number did you see it on?

Pull up the web page and press ctl+f it will bring up a search box, type palsy and hit enter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still nothing, although I was able to pull up other things. Is it under those exact words "Facial Palsy" or "Palsy"? because I found nothing. But when I typed in certain keywords, it did bring up the tardive dyskinesia related stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
