The typicals like thorazine suck in terms of TD risk and it keeps going up the longer you're on it.

Yea. She takes cogentin to help prevent it but has TD for years now. It would be nice if they went away but they might just stay.
Meds that were taken when she was younger and they thought she was ADHD gave her ticks that never really went away.
She was so extreme when she was younger that they tried every medication there was just to get her to go to sleep at night and to function during the day and to not hurt herself because she would do some crazy things.
Jumping out of windows... too many things to even mention.
At 12 years old when she was finally hospitalized is when she finally for the first time in her life slept through the night. Zyprexa the wonder drug that makes you blow up in size.
And she is the sweetest kindest most loving girl you could ever meet. I am dumbfounded.
