Judy -
Sounds like you are / or have become / really sensitive to all of the DA blockers (in my case even 2 days of ultra low (1.25mg x 2 days) zyprexa) made my problem take a significant turn worse.
Sounds like your Dr. is pretty straight forward on DA blocker induced movements. I'm not sure why you have taken DA blockers but sounds like maybe your Dr. is even reluctant to give them to you? I have heard that many people get "metaclopramide" (for nausea) induced tardive movement disorders in USA. Apparently this was a big area of lawsuit - except that Dr's are able to keep this pretty quiet and out of journals and courts by settling privately - keeping all parties sworn to keep quiet about it.
I don't mean to sound paranoid about this - but I do think that a lot events that would make "bad press" or be "unprofitable" to companies - and which could end up in public court and press instead go to private settlement.
Judy - sounds like you had to educate yourself on lots of the terms (I know I did) - you menioned differnt stuff like "parkinsonism, akathisia" etc ... My experience with this stuff was I had to self-educate because no Dr. wanted to really talk to me about it (or maybe more significant even those who did didn't seem to know to much about the complexities of drug induced movements so many types etc).

Take Care
> unfortunately, i started with injections of haldol and thorazine- both resulting in acute dystonia within a week. on the atypicals- i had akathisia on 4mg/day of risperdal within 24 hours; zyprexa induced parkinsonism at 5mg/day in a week (at 10 mg/day it took 3 days) i loathe these drugs- my pdoc has seen incidences of EPS in about 75% of patients on atypicals. hope this helps- judy
