* The risk of developing tardive syndromes, as they relate to individual medication administration is a complex issue. It depends not only on the medication itself, but on a variety of other factors including medication dosage and duration of administration, co-administration with other medications capable of producing tardive syndromes, patient comorbidities and critically, the age of the patient. As such, this expression of 'risk' is intended purely as a general guide, and each case must be assessed on its merits.

Theconditionaffectsbetween20-50%ofpatientsreceivingneuroleptic

drugs[12].Advancingageisthemostrobustrisk-factorforthedevelopmentof

Thepathophysiologicbasisoftardivesyndromesremainspoorlyunderstood.

Thisuncertaintyisreflectedinthegreatnumberoftheorieswhichpurportto

Theearliesttheorytogainpopularacceptancewastheso-calleddopamine

receptorhypersensitivitytheory.Thissuggestedthatadministrationof

dopamineblockingneurolepticsledtocompensatoryup-regulationand/or

Hypersensitivityofthesereceptors,whichareexpressedonindirectpathway

AnalternativehypothesisisthatTSactuallyrepresentsaneurodegenerative

Mythno.1:Secondgenerationantipsychotics,withtheirlowerD2binding

Thishasbeenaparticularlycontentiousissueandmakingadefinitestatementin

Rather,duetorapiduptakeintheirprescription,includingoff-labeluseformood

WhilesomestudiessuggestthattheincidenceofTSwithsecondgeneration

Mythno.2:Prolongedexposuretoacausativedrugisnecessaryinorderto

Though,asdetailedabove,thecumulativeriskofTSincreasesyear-on-yearand

mostpatientsdevelopthedisorderafteratleast1-2yearsofdrug

Anumberofautoimmunemovementdisorderscanhaveco-existent

First,preventionisalwaysbetterthancure.Assuch,medicationswith

Finallycomesthequestionofsymptomatictreatmentsfortardivesyndromes.

Numerousagentshavebeentrialledinthisregard,withvaryingevidencefor

Concerningtardivedyskinesia,themainstayofmedicaltreatmentresides

aroundtheadministrationofvesicularmonoaminetransporter-2(VMAT-2)
