Its my understanding that TD is caused by long term exposure to antipsychotics, hence the tardive part meaning late onset. In the OP's case the onset was on the introduction of the drug and hence would called Extrapyramidal Side Effects. Seems pretty odd that Zyprexa a drug with a low propensity to cause EPS and at a low dose would cause EPS.
