> First, you don't have tardive dyskinesia, but you might have an early warning sign that it's possible to develop it, ie ExtraPyramidal Symptoms (EPS)-- ie movements or tremors.

> Second, you need to get that checked out as soon as possible by your pdoc or prescribing physician. It's important to discontinue the medication(s) that might be causing the EPS, if you have it, so as to prevent its developing.

> HonoreI would just add that I didn't make a statement that he did or did not have a movement condition but its not uncommon for doctors who aren't familiar with the protocol to take AIMS exams baseline and every 6 months for a patient on a neuroleptic. Nonetheless, yes, he should have a statement from his doctor and what among many choices the doctor can attempt to amend a condition if it exists.
