article my pdoc read about atypicals


Recommended Posts

so yesterday i was talking to my pdoc about antipsychotics. and i said i didnt want to try any of the typical antipsychotics coz i heard they have nasty side effects for example tardive dyskinesia. he then said that he read an article saying that there are people still reporting getting tardive dyskinesia from atypicals one example was with zyprexa. ive never heard of anyone developing TD from atypicals? i mean i thought they arent supposed to have that side effect? has anyone else heard of anyone developing td from atypicals and if so which one was the culprit? i mean it must be pretty rare? does anyone have the statistics of someone developing td from an atypical?

Hey,

Here is a study about TD secondary to Abilify.

Here is a study that touches on TD after a couple other AAPs, but it also suggests that switching AAPs solved the problem.

From my quick search of PubMed, it seems like AAPs help TD in some cases, but have also been seen to cause it.

Here is an article with some stats, mentioning relative rates.

Seems like the general consensus is that while there has been a number of cases of TD from the AAPs, they are generally better tolerated than the typicals.
