Confusion and total amnesia upon regaining consciousness are also usually experienced and ...

[37] Studies have tested the use of melatonin, high dosage vitamins, and different antioxidants in concurrence with antipsychotic drugs (often used to treat schizophrenia) as a way of preventing and treating tardive dyskinesia.
