Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Tardive dyskinesia is a side effect of antipsychotic medications.
It is related to the influence that this medications has on dopamine.
The best treatment of tardive dyskinesia is preventing it.

If you already suffer from this side effect, there are several medications that can ease the symptoms.
I would suggest Valbenazine which is a medication that help in regulating the dopamine level. This is a prescribed medication, so you should consult your doctor before using it.

Some other advice that I can give to you are:
-Use daily vitamin B supplement
-Use daily vitamin E supplement

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
