How long does acute dystonia last if you are on benadryl (diphenhydramine). ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No firm guideline: Dystonia can be the result of your medication, your genetics or activity related muscle problems. Seek a neurologist and a physiatrist opinion (with a full examination) to better guide your care.
