There's not much on this online. I found it interesting.
"Tardive tourettism resembles Tourette syndrome and presents during or after treatment with dopamine antagonists. Typically, tardive tourettism begins in individuals older than 21 years, while Tourette syndrome commonly presents by age 7 years. This condition is characterized by frequent, multiple motor and vocal tics, echolalia, echopraxia, coprolalia, and copropraxia. Tics may be suppressed temporarily while inner tension builds; this inner tension is relieved by an explosion of tics. Tardive tourettism may occur with other TDs"
