In reply to Tardive dyskinesia what are the symptoms, posted by chand2407 on October 30, 2005, at 19:29:03
The main symptom of TD is involuntary motor movement--tics, lip-smacking, limbic jerks.
Clonazepam--for me--causes weight gain, FYI.

hey! Tardive dyskinesia is **usually** something that develops very gradually; the first sign for a lot of people are very subtle odd movements in the facial area, usually the tongue. A lot of docs seem to think that if you can catch TD at that point and withdraw antipsychotics, there's a good chance the full-blow TD syndrome won't develop.
