✦ Synopsis

Six patients with severe and stable tardive dyskinesia were treated with verapamil, a calcium channel blocker, in doses ranging from 240 to 400 mg/day. Weekly assessments were made using the Simpson tardive dyskinesia rating scale. Neuroleptic medication was held constant during the 3-month baseline assessment and during the month of treatment with verapamil. Four of the six patients showed a dramatic response to treatment and a fifth showed a slight improvement. The four good responders were younger and had the tardive dyskinesia for a shorter period of time.
