Less than 1%

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

To be XXXXXXX I have not seen even a single person who developed tariff dyskinesia after use of ability. On the same ground there is limited literature available to reveal the development of tardive dyskinesia.

If I remember correctly the classic text book categorically say that the risk is less than one percent per year use. In my view this could be maximum and there is little scope for development of tariff dyskinesia with use of ability.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more question safer free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
