Tardive Dyskinesia - All Articles
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is an irreversible side effect of long-term antipsychotic medications and other medications like antiemetics that leads to involuntary movements of the face, tongue, trunk, limbs, and neck. Other medications might help you reduce TD symptoms, and stopping or switching drugs at your doctor’s request may be possible but can worsen the underlying conditions.
