I understand that Vitamin E supplements (natural E, not synthetic) may help TD symptoms. It was presribed to me by my then psychiatrist for TD, but was unable to take it (my insurance wouldn't cover it.) Don't remember the suggested dosage.

Its a weird drug it gives the feeling for several hours after I take that I have just stepped out of a warm bath. Its quite pleasurable but weird too I can certainly see how it might be a drug of abuse I find it very relaxing! For the month I took it the feeling didnt abate. So anyways Im kinda reluctant to take it again since my legs havent been vibrating anymore! Actually thinking about it maybe I will try taking some at night before bed maybe then it will stop my tongue waggling when Im trying to get off to sleep and the warm sensation will have worn off by morning, does that sound like a plan? What would be really neat would be something like procyclidine sustained release so you could take one dose but the initial spike wasnt so obvious.
