Also forgot to include, what SLS was mentioning, is the individual is experiencing ID, or initial dyskinesia. That is a common thing seen especially with strong antipsychotics just after first use.
TD is not even considered TD until after 6 (or is 9 -- I think 6) months of observation. Choreiform movements can be part of a disorder itself. But I will say that doctors and patients should have established periodic AIMS exams to determine what is going on. They take little time and are subjective.
WD, withdrawal dyskinesia, also is not TD. Its caused usually by dropping an antipsychotic too fast or a lead brick. Dont. I have. It basically completely resolves itself after an unknown but fairly short amount of time.
