Accepted Answer

Greetings.

 

Tardive dyskinesia can be controlled by the following;

 

1) vitamin E,

2) levodopa,

3) benzodiazepines,

4) botulinum toxin, reserpine,

5) tetrabenazine,

6) dopamine-depleting agents

7) ondansetron

 

Reduction or discontinuation of the causative agent if possible is the main consideration.

 

Please feel free for your follow up questions.

thanks. but that is not was I meant. I can control the abnormal movements at work, but not at home. Is this possible, and would you call this TD?

Answer

Hello,

 

You are welcome.

 

This is not likely to be Tardive dyskinesia. TD are difficult to control. You should be investigated for following;

 

1) Hyperthyroidism

2) Adult chorea

3) Essential tremors

4) Hypoparathyroidism

5) Spontaneous dyskinesias

 

It is pleasure and privilege assisting you.
