Prescribers for tardive dyskinesia drugs at MGH

[TAC]

I cannot find anyone who is prescribing Ingrezza or Austedo for movement disorders at Massachusetts General Hospital, any idea of how to find them?

I am sure they don't allow reps to call on them. I am finding that most psychiatrists that caused the movement disorder are happy to ignore the ailment so that they do not have to admit they caused it. They are worried about themselves, not their patients. These providers are the worst kind. Out for themselves while they allow a condition that is treatable to go untreated to benefit them. They are in for a rude awakening starting next week though. The gig is up. They will be seen for what they are.

So are Ingrezza or Austedo good choices for TD? I cannot find much data on them. ICER did not like their cost effectiveness, that was pretty clear.

They are the only indicated drugs for TD. They have been studied and found efficacious by the FDA.

How is their side effect profile? I assume that FDA found it to be acceptable, but these are already drugs prescribed to address side effects of other drugs such as Latuda.
