Hi Lostboy -
I'm glad the Parnate helps, and the amantadine also.
Tardive means "drug induced, >1 month chronic involuntary movements" - which it sounds like you have since you take drugs to block the movements. Tardive movement disorders - even very severe ones - can be "masked" or "treated" so that symptoms go away. But these are all tardive movement disorders if they were non-existant until caused by drug(s) - and remain chronic over 1 month (or is it 2 months Cybercafe?) - anyway ....
Your symptoms sound pretty severe to me. I think your Dr. is saying "EPS" because it is non-descript - and can imply "acute" movements which are transient and go away permanaently (acute meaning <3 days before never appearing again or being a "drug sensitive" newfound movemment)...
