In fact, it is entirely possible that his meds were working just fine. From what I understand you can have good days and bad days. He had nothing but good days for many years while he was working and then the disease progressed to the point that he couldn't incorporate his twitching into his acting. At least, that is my impression watching reruns of his later shows on TV. It was clear he had the disease back then if you look carefully--he just made the involuntary movements look like mannerisms and incorporated them into his characters. A very brillian actor.
