Is neuroleptic dysphoria a variant of drug-induced extrapyramidal side effects?
OBJECTIVES Neuroleptic drugs induce psychological side effects such as dysphoria, cognitive impairment, and loss of motivation. These side effects were largely underrecognized and trivialized in the past as variants of extrapyramidal side effects (EPSEs). We review the recent literature on the subject and clarify the relation between neuroleptic-induced dysphoria and EPSEs. METHODS We critica...
متن کاملNeuronal basis of neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal side effects.
The article reviews presently commonly accepted concepts of neuronal basis of neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal side effects. The data obtained both, in humans and laboratory animals, point to the blockade of a large number of the striatal dopamine D2 receptors by neuroleptics as a primary cause of these disturbances. This phenomenon leads to the appearance of parkinsonian symptoms shortly aft...
متن کاملNeuroleptic-induced movement disorders: deconstructing extrapyramidal symptoms.
The neurological risks and benefits of atypical neuroleptics have received considerable attention in the medical literature, but there have been few controlled studies examining these risks in elderly patients. Well-designed, longterm prospective studies are needed to identify the safest and most effective treatment regimens for elderly patients, but until these studies are complete, clinicians...
متن کاملLow-dose neuroleptic therapy and extrapyramidal side effects in schizophrenia: An effect size analysis.
A meta-analysis of the published literature was performed in order to quantify the efficacy of low-dose neuroleptic therapy in reducing extrapyramidal side effects in schizophrenic patients. A low-dose regimen between 50-100 mg equivalents of chlorpromazine, in comparison to a standard-dose regimen between 200-500 mg reduced extrapyramidal side effects by a 0.30 (+/-0.12) standard deviation, wh...
متن کاملThe neuroleptic hypothesis: study of the covariation of extrapyramidal and therapeutic drug effects.
A therapeutic trial with chlorpromazine was conducted with a homogeneous (for age and sex) group of recently admitted schizophrenic patients. Extrapyramidal effects were measured through quantitative analysis of digital tremor, after four days of fixed-dose treatment. Assessment of treatment efficacy was based on Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale ratings, done at the end of four weeks' treatment. ...
