What Is Tardive Syndrome?

Tardive syndrome is a group of neurological movement disorders often caused by dopamine receptor-blocking agents, such as antipsychotics.

Tardive Dyskinesia

Tardive dyskinesia is a movement disorder distinguished by a range of involuntary and repetitive muscle movements in the face, neck, arms, and legs.

Tardive Akathisia

Tardive akathisia refers to feelings of inner restlessness and a compulsion to be in constant motion, resulting in an inability to sit still. People may pace, fidget, or rock on each foot.

Tardive Dystonia

Tardive dystonia involves involuntary movements and muscle contractions characterized by twisting into sometimes painful positions, such as head tipping back or trunk arching. Tardive dystonia tends to have a younger mean age of onset than tardive dyskinesia.

Tardive Tremors

Tardive tremors involve shaking movements usually in the hands or arms, they but can also affect the legs, feet, and head. People with tardive tremors may also have voices that sound shaky.

Tardive Tics

Tardive tics involve brief motor or muscle movements or vocal sounds that occur involuntarily and repeatedly.
