Hi Thomas,
>I meant to say, 4mg bid, for a total of 8.
I know :-)
>Is the incidence high with long term use in LOW doses?
It's probably quite high. In the treatment of bipolar disorder, classical neuroleptics are most suitable for short-term use.

>Plus, no one has any idea whether the atypicals will also have TD after long term use, as they've not been around long enough...?
Evidence suggests that the atypicals are significantly less likely to cause TD than the classical neuroleptics. The newest atypicals eg. Abilify have not yet been well studied RE the risk of TD.
Kind regards
