Scott - As you know, I am the drug guy and for the dystonia/dyskinesia answer, I paraphrased it out of a dictionary. Further to this:
stereotypy - the persistent inappropriate mechanical repetition of actions, body postures, or speech patterns, usually occurring with a lack of variation in thought processes or ideas. It is often seen in patients with schizophrenia.
Like I say, if it is out of my realm of knowledge, you get the book answer. Sorry Scott - Cam
P.S. None of the 3 medical dictionaries that I have, nor the 2 dictionary websites I have bookmarked, include tardive dystonia in them.
