>The problem with TD as you get older is that it can have a more rapid onset and persist after discontinuation, whereas younger people sometimes see symptom resolution after discontinuation.
That's very true. In fact, it resolves more often than not for young people who are able to stop meds, or switch to a low TD alternative such as clozapine. Apart from mild temporary withdrawal dyskinesias, TD does not readily resolve itself in those 70+.
Seroquel appears to be very low risk for TD though, except perhaps in the elderly. If Phil could take Seroquel as his only AP the risk isn't going to be high.
I don't know exactly how old Phil is.... but I think he might be in the medium/middle risk group!
