Actually, the atypical neuroleptic Risperidone is supposed to be pretty useful in movement disorders:
Lombroso, Paul J. MD et al. Risperidone Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Chronic Tic Disorders: A Preliminary Report. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 34(9):1147-1152, September 1995.
And Olanzapine is useful in Tourette's Disorder, in which tics can be quite severe:
Semerci, Z. Bengi M.D.. OLANZAPINE IN TOURETTE'S DISORDER. Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry. 39(2):140, February 2000.
