Research Notes on Tardive Dyskinesia
Tardive dyskinesia refers to a wide variety of involuntary, repetitive, persistent, stereotypic movements caused by the use of drugs that block dopamine receptors. These drugs that block dopamine receptors are known as dopamine-receptor antagonists or DRAs. Involuntary movements such as those associated with dystonia, myoclonus, tics, and tremor, and restlessness with muscle quivering and the urge to move (akathisia) may be manifestations of TD.
