For Tardive Dyskinesia "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."

Tetrabenazine for Huntington's Disease "Worked better for my daughter than Austedo. She was on a program from Lundbeck where she got it at no cost. Program ended, and she had to switch to Austedo, which doesn't seem to be as effective for her chorea."

For 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."
