Guide To The Symptoms Of Dystonia

For those suffering from dystonia, knowing which medications to use and how to find them is vital.

Dystonia is a condition that causes patients to experience unintentional muscle contractions that eventually result in postural abnormalities. Dystonia can be caused by brain injuries, heavy metal poisoning, and oxygen deprivation, and acute dystonia is a potential side effect of some types of antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antiemetics. Some patients with dystonia only experience involuntary muscle contractions in one part of the body; this is known as focal dystonia.
