Another treatment that has been shown to have moderate effectiveness for reducing symptoms of TD is Clonazepam, a GABA-A agonist benzodiazepine. This medication is recommended to be used only on a short-term basis, and not to exceed three months. This recommendation is due mostly to patients demonstrating tolerance to the medication when used long term, and also because of its addictive properties. It is also not recommended for use by the elderly because of the risk of potential drug-to-drug interactions, increased risk for falls, age-related kidney, heart, and liver problems, and psychomotor slowing (Khouzam, 2015). The daily recommended use ranges from 0.5mg to a maximum of 3-4mg/day. It should be noted that patients with severe symptoms of TD are less likely to show a significant decrease in TD with the use of Clonazepam (Khouzam, 2015).

Many feel today we are losing the war on drugs. When a battle goes to the point where there is no winner, there needs to be a re-evaluation of how to solve the problem. In the case of the war against drugs, years of fighting have caused increased crime, overcrowding of prisons, and the wasted use of money and resources with no results. It is now time to look at alternative methods to solve the nation's drug problem.
