Generally it is seen as a result of drugs that lower dopamine. The antispsychotis lower dopamine, and the SSRI's *can* lower dopamine indirectly by raising serotonin.
The SSRI risk of TD is extremely low. And if the symptoms occur they are progressive not spontainious. Unlike some sntispyhotics, SSRI TD can be ameliorated simply by reduction of dose.
And like I said there have been numerious studies suggesting Remeron is the drug to use in movement disorders. It has been shown to reduce some disorders significantly.There are ways to reduce the relative risk of TD with SSRIs. Fish oil and Vitamin E are being studied for this.
