Tardive dyskinesia is a risk with a lot of antipsychotics taken long-term, although I've heard of it happening within just a few doses.

I've been on haloperidol for over 10 years and my doctor would rather I take something else, like aripiprazole (Abilify). But it's too expensive, I spend lots on meds already


Aripirazole Is on PBS in australia if you have a concession card
This is true but only if you have a diagnosis of schizophrenia. At least that's what my psychiatrist told me.

Thanks for the Information. I just assumed it was not specific to one condition. Off concession can get pricey, that sucks.
