civil... yes, I was uncivil
I am sorry for any offense.
atypical TD following any SSRI use is not likely to follow any typical AP stastics. the jury is out !
What is missing here is the anxiety quotient of the person.
If this is anxiety, panic, depression under Tx & other anxiety induced physical body Sx have happened in the past, then this is likely med / anxiety related.
The old zebra /horse analogy comes to mind. If one hears hoof beats, don't look for a zebra. look for the most reasonable thing first. This does not mean there is never a zebra, just that it is usually a horse.
Zebra lovers with a penchant for words can convince us it is a zebra based on the cadence of the hoof beats, the phase of the moon, et al.
A look at the animal is much better for identity.
atypical TD from a non AP drug is possible ! It should not be high on the list of reasonable causes. TD would be a major cause to discontinue the med ASAP !!!!!
