Which is fine, I can't force you to do anything nor listen to my advice (or me, if you prefer listening to other people) but there never is any response that I hear and I think labelling every aspect of side effects as TD is NOT helpful psychologically.There are definately other reasons for what you have described and several of those do not sound like any Tardive or TD symptoms I have heard of.
Tardive means LATE in treatment for most parts (yes, I had a very rare possible case of Tardive Dystonia early with Zyprexa but I am medication sensitive and it was an isolate case that I am disappointed with to say the least and have to live with it until it hopefully disappears).
Tardive symptoms can also go away -- in fact they have gone away in at least 1/3 if not more of patients, but this takes time.
Please consider whatever the health system in Belgium allows to evaluate you, I don't want you to continue to add to your depressive symptoms something that hasn't been diagnosed.
Anyhow that is my advice and you are an adult and can see fit as to what to do and I hope I didnt seem harsh, I just want you to feel as best as you can and be as functional as you can under what you already are experiencing.
