Damaris,
Unless your friend has developed Parkinson's disease, not related to medication, he may be experiencing the drug induced movement disorder tardive dyskinesia.
Search the internet for information about tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia is a possible side effect of several antipsychotic drugs. There are medications which may help with his symptoms.
