I do not have a dog in this race, I am a retail pharmacist here is some food for thought. If Sally was on Abilify to augment her SSRI for depression. She stays the drug combo for two years and then is no longer depressed. She is no longer seeing a psych and six years later she TD presents. She will go see her GP/IM and will be sent to a neurologist. One other case, might be a 50 year old who was treated with Reglan some year back becomes dyskinectic. They will see their primary care physician and be sent on to a neurologist.The last poster was correct in saying TD is caused mostly by antipsychotics. The first-generations (typical) are much worse(for TD) then the newer (atypical) neuroleptics, however Zyprexa and such still can bring on TD. One other thing to keep in mind is most of the patients who have been on long use of any type of neuroleptic usually are on some type of public assistance. You drug will be very pricey, and best of luck getting it approved.I hope everything works out for you.
