I'm searching for information on medications used to treat schizophrenia which have the least likely chance of causing tardive dyskinesia. The doctor is wanting to switch my father from Fluxanol ( an injection - Canadian name of drug ) because of severe tardive dyskinesa. The doctor is recommending Zyprexa, but it also list the movement disorders as a side-affect. Also it warns against drinking, he drinks about 12 beer a week ( 3-4 a day at times ), smoking (he smokes about a pack aday of Export - strong cigarette), previous history of heart attack (which he has had) and a drug interaction with Erythrmycin (he's had pneumonia and this is the first antibiotic prescribed). Excuse me for rambling but we're a little concerned.
