> Hi Todd,
> Thanks for the post. When you say it is highly doubtful for TD to show up now is that a NO? I just wish I could really get some confirmation on this. I read in some literature where it can show up mnay months afterward?? Could this be anymore vague? I know most of the time Withdrawl Emergent Dyskinesia goes away.

Well, as they say, there are no certainties in life other than death and taxes. I can't say you definitely won't get TD, but I think it's highly unlikely. As for the alcohol issue, I'm afraid I have nothing concrete to offer, and if you are not comfortable with the idea of drinking right now, whatever the reason, I think it would be highly irresponsible of me to criticize that decision. I think you are correct that you do seem to be in a fearful state, and I would suggest attempting in some way to lower your anxiety levels. Having experienced extremely high anxiety levels in the past myself, I know how difficult this can be. As I suggested in my other post, it may be worthwhile to avail yourself of some kind of therapy. A trained professional may be able to give you some insights into coping with your anxiety that might not occur to you on your own, and which may prove to be immensely helpful.Todd
