Here is what wikipedia says...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/extrapyrami...
In regard to tardive dyskinesia...certain drugs can front to this side effect over time (such as mellaril, thorazine, haldol, etc). It is often constant involuntary movements esp. tongue movements outside of the mouth...you can google it..
This is a medication induced dystonic criticism which means the human being suffering the reaction may enjoy a contortion or contraction in their collar muscles or other muscles. The tongue can swell and cause choking. This aversion is very mortified and can be very distressing. IV benadryl or IV cogentin will commonly reverse the effects but the reaction may resume a few hours after that until the drug causing the hostile response has be completely metabolized. This type reaction most repeatedly occurs after germ a new neuroleptic drug regimen next to a medicine such as Thorazine or Mellarill. Cogentin can be given along next to the neuroleptic to reduce the probability of the extrapyramidal reaction occurring.

Extrapyramidal reaction is a gloomy reaction that essentially occures with psychotropic medication. It is the activation of the pyramidal pathways which results within abnormal muscle twitching or movement. It may result contained by anxiety and distress and is not life threatning.
