TDT is Tardive Dystonia and TD is Tardive Dyskensia (sp?)

i really dont know much about tdt but i have tardive dyskenisia and its a pain in the a** not too mention i get some looks though usully if i am keeping up with my meds the affects subside. so i guess its a question of what you consider to be worse?

They put me on cogentin even after showing early signs of TD. It's a tough call, but it's yours. I say try the cogentin but stop it if you start having increased EPS.

If you have distressing side effects as the result of taking a drug, you should alway discuss them with the prescribing doctor, as well as any other doctors you might be seeing. I guess you already know that, though.
Yuo might want to consider changing medications, if the side effects are intolerable. I did, though it was a liver failure thing rather than neurological. It helps to do your own research - sometimes the docs don't know stuff that they ought to. Probably because they've been bought by pharm-industry reps. rolleyes

Well the best thing to do would be to go off Abilify but I've alwredy tried all the other atypical anti-psycotics.
