Do Tardive Dyskinesia symptoms vary in intensity over the course of the day?

Yes. Tardive dyskinesia(s) are a nervous sytem disorder, and like all other tissues in the body, nerves need fuel. (Actually, nerves need fuel [glucose], oxygen, and activation.) As the day progresses you experience rises and falls in blood sugar levels and thus usable fuel. The nervous system may subsequently alter in its' ability to 'fire' leading to increases or decreases in neurological symptoms (depending on whether excitatory or inhibitory systems/pathways are involved). Try looking up "central integrative state" on the internet. This is a very simplistic answer, but the short version is that yes, symptoms may vary. Hope this helps some.
