yes, your right tardive means late, if you have a movement disorder that does not take time to develop then its call EPS; of which TD is a subset.

i've heard the same tardive=late lecture from lame pdocs.
its a family of disorders due to mesocortical dopaminergic pathways being "potentially" altered permanently.dopamine downregulation to me philosophically is not in my best interests. to be brutally honest, i believe they act as a neurochemical lobotomy. perhaps so do certain SSRI's. we don't know. regardless, the last thing i need is an inability for my autonomous nervous sytem to loose its interconnectivity w/my peripheral nervous system.
as a result of this fear, i've stopped most medications.
there is no science, only conjecture, and profit.extrapyramidal syptoms seem to occur via direct or indirect inhibition on the mesocortical dopaminergic system.
not something one would do unless...
> TD means late. Tardive. Tardive Dyskinesia. If you develop something after 48 hours it is ID, Initial Dyskinesia and is almost certainly gone after withdrawal. Two weeks is not Tardive in any sense of the word and is beyond extremely rare for anything permanent -- certainly nothing massively permanent from a neuroleptic.
