No thank you. If I absolutely had to take an anti-psychotic in the future I would opt for Clozapine. Clozapine is the safest anti-psychotic when it comes to movement disorders, I dont think there are any reports of it ever causing TD in anyone. However Clozapine has other bad side effects and its a serious drug which requires serious weekly monitoring.
Also, even better than Clozapine for affective disorders with psychotic features is good old fashioned bilateral ECT. Id opt for old fashioned bilateral ECT ANYDAY over nasty anti-psychotic drugs. Id take six months of memory loss anyday over a drug induced movement disorder. Hell, my memory is already shot from the severe depression Ive had anyway.
Bilateral ECT is far superior to anti-psychotic drug/mood stabilizer/antidepressant combinations. Both in effectiveness and in safety to your physical health.
