Gabriel's Approach
Gabriel supports tardive dyskinesia with vitamin E, ginkgo, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), vitamin B6, and works with psychiatrist to switch to lower-risk medication if possible or use VMAT2 inhibitors. Emphasizes prevention (lowest effective dose, regular monitoring) better than treatment as TD can be irreversible.
Root Causes
Why Conventional Fails
Discontinue causative medication if possible, VMAT2 inhibitors (valbenazine, deutetrabenazine), switch to lower-risk antipsychotic, clonazepam for symptomatic relief, deep brain stimulation if severe refractory.
Often irreversible even after stopping medication, VMAT2 inhibitors expensive and don't cure (symptomatic only), vitamin E not routinely recommended despite some evidence, prevention not prioritized (regular AIMS monitoring often neglected), metoclopramide still overused for nausea.
