G24.0: Drug-induced dystonia

You have a movement disorder caused by taking certain medications.

With this movement disorder, it may be impossible to control one's muscles properly. The muscles may seize up as a result. You may also make involuntary movements. The movement disorder may affect one or more parts of the body. For example, the face or throat may be affected. You may not be able to sit or lie still.
