The symptoms are suspicious of tardive dyskinesia(TD) and i think his HIV
and substance abuse may have a lot to do with it.A neoplasm or some
infectious pathology of the CNS basal ganglion leading to extrapyramidal
side-effects.As some reports say, if they have been on anti-psychotics,HIV
afflicted patients have increased frequency of such disorders.The write-up
on www.emedicine.com says that it can be classified as TD if the patient has
been on neurolepts for around 3 months even 8 wks after discontinuation.
It comments on use of clonazepam and propranolol as well for treatment.
