cogentin won't stop you from getting TD. It will suppress EPS in the short term, but its ineffective for most cases of established TD.
That said, the more I read on the subject the more it seems that there's a whole range of tardive stuff that psychiatry either doesn't acknowledge or is only beginning to acknowledge. Tardive tics, tardive psychosis, tardive akathisia...it wouldn't surprise me if the Abilify did do *something*, even if it didn't present as "classical" TD. Also, Abilify doesn't work like other antipsychotics, so I wouldn't be surprised if 10 years from now some (hopefully not many) Abilify patients have unusual tardive syndromes.
