1) I'm not a psychic nor a psychiatrist, but I would hesitate a guess, possibly.

2) There has been only one study in the BJP that I have quoted, if I recall, that showed the incidence of TD in a wide population of Zyprexa users to be 1/2% per year. But you can only extrapolate so much from that, because everyone's brain is different. Someone could take Haldol for years and not get TD. The only harbinger, and I posted this once and I don't want to scare people, including Jeroen, because its not an exact science and I realized that I may have overstepped, is that there is a possibility of future TD if your EPS (side effects like akathisia) are so severe that it is intolerable to take the medication, or somewhere in that range.


I wish I could offer you more advice than I could offer myself.
