TARDIVE DYSKINESIA (TD) is a result of damage to the bodily systems that process dopamine and is typically caused by exposure to certain neurological medications – including Reglan. The symptoms of TD mimic those of Parkinson’s disease and are irreversible and incurable.

We feature the most up-to-date information on TD, its causes and all known treatment options. Additionally, we distribute free support books and informational packets to our users.
