Heh, yes.

I developed tardive dyskinesia from use of antipsychotics over a period of 8 months. It's been over 6 years since I've taken them, but it still has not gotten any better...

You can still develop TD regardless of the drug, given that pretty much any dopamine antagonist can cause it in the long term.




I'm not sure of you're aware, but there's actually drug treatments for TD now, such as Valbenazine. From what I can tell, they have pretty good efficacy/safety [1].
