Tardive Dyskynesia
Posted: 07-10-07 00:59am

I know that taking Abilify (aripiprazole) can cause tardive dyskynesia. Although this is possible, how probable is it? eg. 1 in 10, etc. How long would you need to take the medication before showing this symptom, and at what strength? Is this for schizophrenia, as I have been told, or for manic-depression as I've seen on the web, or both?

I do not think this happens so much anymore to the extent that it used to b/c docs are on the lookout for it.

Google it and see what you come up with.
