Bilateral ECT fixes TD the best of any treatment I read. ECT has anti-parkinsons but anti-psychotic properties at the same time...cool huh? ECT does something to change the supersensitivity of dopamine receptors around, decreasing TD levels.
So besides getting rid of the neuroleptic, taking lots of vitamin E...bilateral ECT is probably the best thing a person with TD can do for themselves. Plus bilateral ECT fights psychosis without causing movmement disorders like neuroleptics cause.
