As to your tardive dyskinesia (TD) question, what length of time, specifically, is over three years? 4? 14? 24? What is the med and dose?
Unless you've been on a typical (not atypical) antipsychotic for 25+ years, I wouldn't worry about TD.

6 years, Risperdal. Was on 2 mgs. now down to 0.05 mgs. My doctor wouldn't agree. I don't agree with his diagnosis and am looking at a suit and a new doctor. He wants me on the stuff for life. I feel great so far. I've researched extensive tapering methods and feel confident that it'll work.
