yeah...I read about some Yale study from not too long ago that found that, given enough time, most people on the older drugs develop TD. :-(
I don't know if its the same with the AAP drugs or not. Some things I've read say the newer drugs aren't all that much different in terms of TD risk. Others say there's a big difference.
I think as long as some AAP drugs are still on patent, we'll be hearing that the whole class is safer, better, etc. than the AP drugs. Once Latuda+friends go generic, we'll probably see the experts shrug and say maybe the AAPs aren't so great, after all.
When and if they introduce drugs that handle psychosis, mania, etc. in a different way, we'll hear about how evil all AP/AAP drugs are, at least for a while. That seems to be how psychiatry works.
