> Since caffeine is listed as causing TD along with xanax I'd be very curious to know the incidence or probability of this occuring with either benzo's or caffeine. After working as a psychotherapist for over 20 years in the field of addiction and in-patient psychiatry I can safely say that I never saw, nor heard of TD being caused by an AD or benzo, only AP's (and that was infrequent at best). If I am misinformed I welcome the correction, but I am very doubtful that there is much probablity of developing movement disorders from benzo's or caffeine.

This is all new to me. But I didn't have to look very hard to find this one article. I have the same questions as you and would like to know specifically why xanax, and no other benzo's are listed. In almost all the other articles I looked at, ativan, klonopin, and valium are listed as sometimes being beneficial in alleviating the symptoms of TD.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over this, but it is curious, as I take a xanax.....
