Hi...you can find quite a bit about the drug here: http://www.mentalhealth.com/drug/p30-t05.html
At the dose you are on, you shouldn't have problems with TD or many of the warning listed at the above website. But, if you feel more comfortable and have a drug plan that will pay for the, some of the newer antipsychotics (Seroquel, Risperdal, Zyprexa) are "said" to possibly cause fewer of the TD/CNS side-effects. (You should read up on these for your own knowledge.)
Please let us know how you make out, as I have been asking my doctor to try me on a similar med, mostly for financial reasons. (I don't have a drug plan.)
Best wishes!
Jay
