> Is the risk of tardive diskinesia greater with ziprasidone than with Zyprexa or other drugs in the same class?My pdoc has had one patient so far develop TD on a moderate dose(her description) of risperidol. She says the likelihood of developing td with either zyprexa or geodon is less likely because risperidol is more similar to the regular antipsychotics. But I don't know what "less likely" really means. She has left me a sample package of geodon, but I am very scared to try it.
Incidently, in most cases, if td is picked up early, it can be reversed, says my pdoc, in about four months. shelli
