"I've been taking tetrabenazine for several months now for tardive dyskinesia. I'm now up to 37.5 mg a day with very little help from using it. As far as I'm concerned, tetrabenazine does not help with tardive dyskinesia."

"I switched to tetrabenazine when I could not afford Ingrezza. I felt like my movements decreased on tetrabenazine and I generally feel more relaxed in the face. Movement is exhausting."
