In most cases, the tardive dyskinesia symptoms appear in conjunction with the use of neuroleptic drugs to control schizophrenia. Facial tardive dyskinesia symptoms include facial tics, tongue protrusion, lip smacking, pursing, or puckering, grimacing, and rapid blinking. Bodily tardive dyskinesia symptoms consist of rapid movement of the arms, legs, or trunk, and impaired finger movements.
Many tardive dyskinesia symptoms closely resemble the symptoms of other movement disorders, making it somewhat difficult for tardive dyskinesia symptoms to be accurately diagnosed, unless the doctor is familiar with the patient’s medical/movement history. Once tardive dyskinesia symptoms are diagnosed, there may still be little that doctors can do, since in most cases, tardive dyskinesia symptoms stem from the use of medicines the patient needs to treat a serious underlying condition. Tardive dyskinesia symptoms may remain even if the drug that causes them can be replaced. Careful treatment of tardive dyskinesia symptoms may cause improvement over time, with an alternate form of treatment for the underlying condition. Tardive dyskinesia symptoms appear more often in female and elderly patients, and among African Americans, so screening for tardive dyskinesia symptoms often considers demographics as well as medical backgrounds.
