Department of Neuropsychiatry, School of Medicine, Keio University, Tokyo, Japan.
The authors followed the course of 11 patients with potentially reversible
tardive dyskinesia while they were taking minimum effective neuroleptic
doses. After 10 years, the symptoms of tardive dyskinesia had disappeared
in eight patients, were minimal or questionable in one, and had become
persistent in two.
