TD most generally occurs in individuals who are on long-term treatment with dopaminergic antagonist medications (antipsychotic drugs [APDs])
Though it may be useful in some patients, clozapine is not routinely used in dystonia, due to the risk of seizures, severe cardiac side effects, fatal agranulocytosis and the need for weekly blood tests

2) based on several clinical observations, including temporary improvement in symptoms with increased antipsychotic dose or potency, and symptom improvement in some patients when administered VMAT2 inhibitors, such as tetrabenazine, which
How to compare the efficacy and safety of different drug regimens for Parkinson's disease? A common method is to use levodopa equivalent dose (LED), a standardized measure of the total amount of dopaminergic medication

Dizziness
It has multiple actions including a glutamate antagonism, presynaptic dopamine reuptake inhibition, and increased dopamine release
