My  son has schizo affective and biplar disorder.  He developed tardive dyskensia from anti-psychotic medication about ten years ago.  He is 41.  Currently he is hearing voices, very paranoid and emotionally unstable with strong mood swings.  His medical advisor wants him to try Latuda but he is afraid to do so, not trusting that it will not make his painful tardive dyskensia worse.  Is there another atypical antipsychotic that does not have the side effect of TD?  Or is Latuda not likely to worsen the TD?  Thank you for reading and replying!
Hi there, there are few anti psychotics which has very less potency to cause tardive dyskinetic. The best one among them is clozapine. It is sometimes even use in tardive dyskinetic for psychosis. Other medicines like olanzapine, quetiapine are also useful in this condition. There are limited data available for lurasidone or Laura as it is recently available still it has some risk for TD. Hope you find the answer helpful.
