>I'm sorry you had the experience you did on Geodon, but there are thousands of people who have taken Geodon and other neuroleptics successfully. TD is a reality with ANY neuroleptic, including the one I take, Seroquel, and if your doctor did not discuss the possible reality that Geodon or Abilify or any of the atypicals can possibly cause TD though less than old line antipsychotics, than he did you a disservice with not performing "informed consent." Informed consent means, you know the major side effects of a drug, and you agree to take the medication. I don't doubt that this could possibly be TD, but I have yet to hear anything about an AIMS exam which would establish the level of TD you have, if you do have it. It is a standard measurement diagnostic and takes no more than 5 minutes with you in your chair and your doctor giving you instructions.
