Neuroleptic-induced movement disorders: an overview.
Movement disorders commonly are associated with many psychotropic drugs. Tricyclic antidepressants often cause a tremor in the hands and myoclonic jerks. In some patients, they result in agitation and restlessness, referred to as the jitteriness syndrome [1]. Occasional anecdotes of dyskinesia and dystonia have been reported with these drugs, but tardive dyskinesia typically is not associated w...
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 کاملTreatment of acute neuroleptic-induced movement disorders.
Acute extrapyramidal syndromes (EPS), including dystonia, parkinsonism, and akathisia, are associated with the use of virtually all neuroleptic agents. They may be alleviated by reducing the neuroleptic dosage, switching to a lower-potency drug, or administering an adjunctive agent such as an anticholinergic, amantadine, benzodiazepine, or beta-blocker. Akathisia may be only partly dispelled by...
متن کاملClinical nonrecognition of neuroleptic-induced movement disorders: a cautionary study.
Extrapyramidal side effects are a major limitation in the use of neuroleptics, and tardive dyskinesia is a special public health problem. Accurate clinical diagnosis of extrapyramidal syndromes is necessary for effective management. The authors compared clinicians' recognition of the major extrapyramidal syndromes in 48 psychotic inpatients with independent blind diagnoses by clinical researche...
متن کاملMovement disorders in neuroleptic-naïve patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders
BACKGROUND Spontaneous Movements Disorders (SMDs) or dyskinetic movements are often seen in patients with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, and are widely considered to be adverse consequences of the use of antipsychotic medications. Nevertheless, SMDs are also observed in the pre-neuroleptic ear and among patients who were never exposed to antipsychotic medications. The aim of this ...
