  • Title: Vitamin E in tardive dyskinesia: time course of effect after placebo substitution.
    Author: Adler LA, Peselow E, Duncan E, Rosenthal M, Angrist B.
    Journal: Psychopharmacol Bull; 1993; 29(3):371-4. PubMed ID: 8121964.
    Abstract:
    Alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) has been found to be effective in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia (TD). Studies to date have been short in duration and have not found long-term carryover effects of vitamin E. The present study examined the persistence of the effects of vitamin E after longer term (36-week) treatment was discontinued. Vitamin E significantly improved TD over this period. However, the effects of vitamin E persisted so that TD scores approached baseline only after 12 weeks of placebo substitution.
