Abstract

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a severe and potential irreversible side effect of antipsychotic treatment. Treatment of established TD is often unsuccessful. In this article, we report three cases of psychogeriatric patients who suffered from TD as a side effect of long-term treatment with haloperidol that resolved after switching treatment to aripiprazole. Potential psychopharmacological mechanisms explaining this finding are briefly discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
