Question:

Reversible neurologic effect extrapyrimidal etc

Author: Suzuki



Answer:

Dose-dependent extrapyramidal effects include a Parkinson-like syndrome with bradykinesia, rigidity, and tremor. Extrapyramidal toxicity occurs most frequently with haloperidol and the more potent piperazine side-chain phenothiazines (eg, fluphenazine, trifluoperazine). Parkinsonism occurs infrequently with clozapine and is much less common with the newer drugs. Other reversible neurologic dysfunctions that occur more frequently with older agents include akathisia and dystonias; these usually respond to treatment with diphenhydramine or muscarinic blocking agents.
