sorry bout the TD. Are you going to try antioxidants? That might help. Some people with "schizophrenia" end up doing OK on drugs that aren't antipsychotics, like lithium, depakote, valium, propranolol, etc. Ask your doc about it. You might also want to look into orthomolecular molecular medicine; usually they combine vitamins+drugs at first, and then either drop the drugs or keep the dosages so low that side effects aren't really an issue. Try this website:
http://www.alternativementalhealth.com/
They discuss alternative mental health, and there's a list of practitioners. Some are orthomolecular psychiatrists, some are physicians who have taken an interest in mental health, and some are non-doctor alternative practitioners.
Good luck!
