Hi,

If you are concerned of TD, Zyprexia as I have been told is supposed to be uniquie in being the only neuroleptic or psycotrophic drug claiming to NOT cause TD.

I have symptoms of TD mostly rigid muscles in my upper torso which are the result of another Neurological disorder yet may mask TD.

I am currnently on Risperdal having low risk I am told in comparison to some of the meds I have taken back in the day...Thorazine, Halodal, Prolixin..and the other old neuroleptic medications. Although never 'officially' diagnosed, I am on an anti-parkinson's drug called Artane to help with the side effects or possible side effects. Other medication brands to help with Parkinson's like symptoms are Cogentin and Kemadrin.

I am not a professional only have been on psych meds now for about 12-years. I wish you the best in your treatment and hope all goes well with the reduction or discontinuation of the Zyprexia.
