Tardive Dyskinesia Due to Short-Term and Low-Dose Use of Trifluoperazine: A Case Report

Abstract

Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a disorder characterised by purposeless and involuntary movements affecting any part of the body. These movements typically occur in the oro-facial area and the patient is usually unaware of them. TD is rarely seen secondary to short-term and low-dose use of antipsychotics. Herein, we present a short-term and low-dose trifluoperazine-induced TD. The patient was a 38-years-old female patient who was being treated with trifluoperazine 1 mg/day with a diagnosis of generalized anxiety disorder. The symptoms of TD appeared three months after the introduction of trifluoperazine, decreased gradually and ceased at the six months of discontinuation. Data on TD treatment are limited, and the best management strategy remains prevention.
