Can Abilify and Prozac cause irreversible tardive dyskinesia?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Abilify can indeed cause dyskinesias, but this effect is mostly dose-related

Some reviews have also found that Prozac can cause dyskinesias. In some cases found, the dyskinesias disappeared several weeks to months after discontinuing the drug. That being said, this effect remains rare, and adjustments are always possible if it occurs. The important thing is to assess the situation quickly.

I hope this has been helpful, and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Although Prozac decreases the metabolism of Abilify, it is difficult to quantify with certainty. The important thing is to start Abilify at a low dose and increase it very gradually, if deemed necessary

We'd love to!
