Prevention of<unk>  is achieved by using the lowest effective dose of a neuroleptic for the shortest time. However, with diseases of chronic psychosis such as schizophrenia, this strategy must be balanced with the fact that increased dosages of neuroleptics are more beneficial in preventing recurrence of psychosis. If<unk>  is diagnosed, the causative drug should be discontinued.<unk>  may persist after withdrawal of the drug for months, years or even permanently. Some studies suggest that practitioners should consider using atypical antipsychotics as a substitute to typical antipsychotics for people requiring medication. These agents are associated with fewer neuromotor side effects and a lower risk of developing<unk> . 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<unk> . Although further research is needed, studies reported a much lower percentage of individuals developing<unk>  than the current rate of people for those taking antipsychotic drugs. Tentative evidence supports the use of vitamin E for prevention.
