  • Title: Tardive dyskinesia rates with atypical antipsychotics in adults: prevalence and incidence.
    Author: Kane JM.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 2004; 65 Suppl 9():16-20. PubMed ID: 15189107.
    Abstract:
    Both conventional and atypical antipsychotics cause an up-regulation of dopamine-2 receptors and have been associated with tardive dyskinesia. Studies of adult and elderly subjects have shown a greater incidence of tardive dyskinesia among patients who were administered conventional antipsychotic drugs than those given atypical antipsychotic drugs. This article will review studies of the prevalence and incidence of tardive dyskinesia in patients taking antipsychotic agents.
