Its good that it is mild, I have a constant urge to move my tongue inside my mouth and open my mouth. It is really distressing especially in public and only gets worse with anxiety. My both grandmothers had tardive dyskinesia

I always heard TD was a movement you made without cognition. I don’t believe it’s a compulsion. Please ask your pdoc.

Dystonia is a movement made without an urge, tardive dyskinesia make you want to move certain mouth muscles

Or can it be caused by my haloperidol withdrawals?

I get orofacial dyskensia (when your mouth moves around in fish like movements) when my injection runs low.

Just means your dopamine receptors are very sensitive.

Lower your meds if it gets too intense, otherwise caffeine and exercise will greatly help to prevent it.

It is said vitamin E can possibly ameliorate TD.

Could be, I’d mention it to my pdoc if it gets worse.
