Periodic Limb Movement Disorder AKA hand tremors. My husband takes it and he does get tremors from time to time.

They are most likely refering to some kind of TD which is tardive dyskenisia (probably mispelled but it will sound out fine and is close enough to look up). If you are showing signs of this your medication should be IMMEDIATELY reviewed. It can be permanent. If you have decent medical coverage there are anti-psychotics that are less likely to cause it such as zyprexa or serequil. When i say immediately don’t stop taking your drugs tomorrow but make sure it is dealt with in the next week or two ok? it isn’t dangerous in the vast majority of cases but it can be VERY annoying. They may offer you a drug that reduces these movements. I’ve take it myself (cogentin). However if you have been on the drug for so long without problems you are a more likely candidate for TD and not extrapyrmidial effects which is what cogenten should be used for. (i don’t take anything that requires it now….i have taken CPZ, Nozinane and Haldol as "emergency" drugs over the years for when i have a real freakout…i have an anxiety level that will not go away sometimes…i needed the cogenten with the haldol, but i didn’t bother with it for long, too many side effects. While i still keep some Nozinane around the house i don’t use it all that often, although it is helpful if i do feel overwhelmed. I don’t take it for a psychosis so how i use it can be quite different from how others do and is not a suggestion of use) Marcie
