Tardive Dyskinesia

[Valsa Madhava]

Hello,

I just joined SSRP. My area of focus is addictions and substance/medication dependences.

Wondering if anyone knows of how to approach a patient with Tardive Dyskinesia, usual cause are medication side effects.

Thanks.

I am sorry, I have never had to handle this issue in any of my patients since medical school.

What a great topic – this is a tough mechanism – it’s from the neuroleptic induced dopamine and the nyostrragla pathway the D2 dopamine receptors, there is a inhibition of these receptors and there is an excess of dopamine that causes an excess of these abnormal movements of anti-psychotics

Traditional approaches of clonazepam and other monoamine  – in my practice, I work on DHHB it’s a Gaba-A Agonist – no tolerance, no dependancies, significant effect in neuronal health and cellular health in its pathways. Take a significant look at using this – 30mg capsules –  twice a day – you can do 3x a day in intervals.
