My brother was diganosed with tardive ds. after he was given the drug reglan now he had none of these symptoms prior to the adminstration of the drug. From what I understand the medication was stopped when should we see less of the twitching and the uncontolled movement. Is it possible for the reaction could revierse itself and if this is possible how long willit take?

Hi Patlig,
From all that I've read, the symptoms never 100% go away, even after being completely off the drug. They lessen, yes, but never 100% gone forever. My mother was on this drug for years and developed Tardive as well. I know exaclty what you're speaking about. She's only been off for about two weeks, but her twitching has lessened.
Good luck.
