What is it that you are feeling like right now? Also, what neuroleptic(s) did you use? I know tardive stands for 'caused subsequent to the instatement of a drug'. I suppose what you are saying is possible, and your explanation makes sense. I have definitely heard of stuff like cognitive impairment after treatment with neuroleptics. I believe the older ones like compazine and haldol have been shown to cause shrinking of brain tissue as evidenced by an increase in brain ventricle size.
