Either the trilafon or the zyprexa, but probably the trilafon since it's a first generation antipsychotic.  Are you off all of them now?  According to what I have read, it looks like tetrabenzine is the preferred treatment for tardive dyskinesia (although it's not FDA approved for that use), but you'd have to talk to a doctor first to make sure that's what you have.

Blu: The link didn't post properly, but we're not allowed to post links in public forums.  We have to PM for that (I didn't realize it either until someone told me--oops!)

OP: What drugs were you on before?  Were you on any atypical antipsychotics, like Seroquel or Abilify (which can be added to SSRI antidepressants)?  The antipsychotics can cause tardive dyskinesia, which is a movement disorder that is sometimes permanent.  You should talk to your doctor about these tics, since they're new and seem to be drug related.
