kid_A: SSRI's can cause TD. It's popping up in the scientific literature more and more. It's just not widely known.
James here....
Its always been reported in adverse reactions, but quite uncommon. The problem is that movement disorders are also "naturally occuring", that is to say that people not on AP's or AD's do get them. In general one would not expect AD's to cause movement disorders as AD's don't effect dopamine directly. Dopamine is key to movement disorders, hince the well known problems with AP's and TD.
If you think these docs are wrong about this, I would get another consult.
