Tardive dystonia (TDyst) is a persistent dystonia that is most often associated with dopamine-blocking medications. This syndrome usually takes months to years to develop; however, some cases occur following brief exposure. The preferred treatment is stopping or changing medications. Symptomatic treatment with dopamine depleting medications or anticholinergics may be useful. Overall, the prognosis is guarded; however, recent studies suggest better outcomes than the previously reported ones.
