Essential fatty acid supplementation in tardive dyskinesia

A Wolkin et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

Preclinical and clinical observations suggest that enhancement of prostaglandin activity inhibits catecholamine release and may have antidyskinetic effects. A double-blind therapeutic trial with prostaglandin precursor essential fatty acids was conducted in 16 patients with tardive dyskinesia. No beneficial effects were seen.
