We will be talking about Dr. Goodman's recent article: Antipsychotics and Tetrabenezine: More Rapid Pregression of HD?

Dr. Goodman writes...

In a recent publication in the Journal for Huntington's Disease, Tedroff and collaborators report that antidopaminergic (antipsychotic and tetrabenazine) drugs were associated with more rapid progression of Huntington's disease. Any study showing a factor associated with more rapid progression is important. However the question remains whether these medications "caused" the more rapid progression, or whether those on these medications had a more severe type of HD that would have progressed more rapidly with or without the medications.

What is the take home message from this study for individuals with HD who are taking these drugs?
