Dear lybrate-user. It is nice of you to take an interest in the wife's treatment. Probably you have not visited your psychiatrist for many years. Most of the older tablets like serenace is replaced by second-generation newer drugs. The subsequent dystonia could have been avoided. If recently she was diagnosed with cervical dystonia, there may be other reasons for it apart from serenade. With the neurologist report, please consult your psychiatrist. She/he may stop serenade or add another antipsychotic. Both may not be necessary for 23 years. Sertraline alone may maintain the improvement of major depressive disorder or ocd.
