Can you help me about last mediation of blepharospasm as an disorder movement and one type of dystonia?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean by your question, but benign blepharospasm (involunatry spasms of the muscles around the eyes) can be due to multiple factors. Stress is most common; many people experience blepharospasm on at least an occasional basis.
When severe, your eyes feel as if they operate like a camera lens taking a picture (your muscles feel and look like they are closing in around your eyes), and in the most severe cases you are not able to open your eyes during the spasms. In more severe cases, botox injections are used to treat the condition, as it works to paralyze the muscles, no longer allowing them to contract.
If the spasms are stress related, then environmental stress reduction should help you.
Blepharospasms are also fairly common in cervical dystonia/spasmodic torticollis, a neurological condition involving involuntary contraction of muscles in the neck area (and sometimes face).
As far as prescription meds, a doctor generally starts with more mild medications such as muscle relaxers, then moves to meds specific to movement disorders (i.e. meds for Parkinson's), and uses botox/chemical denervation later on if other treatments do not work.
I also echo the previous poster in the importance of speaking with your primary physician and/or neurologist if you are experiencing this.

If muscle relaxers, anxiolitics, anti-spastics, and anti-parkinson's meds didnt work, there aren't really any other scripts that will likely help. These have side effects too
To max botox have dr try using EMG-helps them to hear the active muscles)
If you have other questions, feel free to email. Report It

Blepharospasm is the inability to open the eyelids. It is caused by a number of things and the treatment depends on the cause. If you have this, I would encourage you to talk to your neurologist about the treatment for you.
