Abstract:
The author reports on the course of tardive dyskinesia in 10 newly treated psychogeriatric patients. Of the 5 whose medication was discontinued, 3 improved; TD continued unchanged in the other 5 patients whose neuroleptics were not discontinued. The author recommends that neuroleptics be discontinued whenever possible in this patient population.
