> Have you ever had any trouble with Abilify and tardive dyskensia? Does it have a pretty low track record compared to other newer ones?
It seems that Abilify has the lowest incidence of TD. Of course, we don't yet have people who have been taking it for decades. However, Abilify spares the striatum (movement) and works instead on limbic structures (activation). Whereas Abilify might not cause dystonias, it might very well produce tardive akathisia. Again, we won't know for a few years.
I take Abilify 20mg. I am not currently worried about tardive akathisia. I hope this drug stands the test of time as being virtually free of EPS.
