Benzos definitely do not cause TD...although they have their own problems, they are among the safest drugs available. Dr. Stuart Shipko, who uses benzos extensively to treat anxiety disorders, does say, however, that TD can appear years after discontinuation of anti-psychotics. He says that almost all people with TD have a history of using AP medication. He warns that AP meds should be used only when psychosis is diagnosed.
