> I developed permanent "tongue movements" from years of being on the antipsychotic Mellaril. Fortunately I was able to discontinue the med before I had full blown Tardive diskinesia, but I still after several years without the med have bothersome tongue movements in my mouth.

> My question is, does anyone experience T.D. symptoms on these "new" antipsychotics, like Risperidal or Seroquel? I struggle daily without the use of this class of drug. But have refused to go back on any, even the newer ones for fear of a permanent disfiguring side effect. Does anyone with mild t.d. use these new meds without exacerbation of the tongue wag?

> ChloeChloe-seroquel is without side effects, or any such are really minor. a cousin of zyprexa, it's much better cuz of zyprexa's nasty habit of putting on the pounds (try 10 pounds in 2 weeks for me.) but i've never heard of seroquel having any t-diskinesia-type effects. do a search on babble or psychopharm tips to be sure.
