>We're all sorry regarding your TD but I hate to say it, it pains me that you haven't taken steps, or appeared not to, or have not told us, proactively to see a specialist, and I don't know who is managing your case now. If I had TD which I worry about from time to time I would have my doctor do everything in the book and have specialists. Still, I do have informed consent. Its a hard place to be stuck in the middle of it. We don't know everything about TD or what its ultimate outcome is, but one thing we do know is that at least 1/3 of people have remission.
In the US, no -- not unless you were admitted to a hospital and not told verbally or written that medication could cause TD.
TD by the way means Tardive, late in treatment, ID, initial dyskinesia is more rare and more reversible in comparison and would happen in a hospital setting as described above.
If you see a doctor, here, they are required, if you are lucid enough, to have "informed consent." I have informed consent about my neuroleptic use, but I also insist on AIMS testing more often than the average patient because I do have side effects.
Ambulance chasers won't attempt to address TD. A doctor familiar with antipsychotic use and the AIMS measuring protocol and steps to take to mitigate things will and would help.
Anyhow you can't use a US ambulance chaser online firm to sue someone in Belgium, that is not productive. Besides those outfits are basically sleazy, think of a drug, and there will be one online to sue it.
I'm not sure what else to say.
