Drug‐induced extrapyramidal reactions

Abstract: A child with psychotic symptoms and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder who developed extrapyramidal symptoms while on a combination of risperidone, methylphenidate, sertraline, tropisetron and ketorolac is described herein. The extrapyramidal symptoms resolved with the administration of benztropine, an anticholinergic drug. Successful treatment of his psychosis was achieved by decreasing the dose of risperidone, followed by slow upward titration.

“…Bidirectional interactions between DA and Ach release have long been observed within the striatum during learning and in Parkinson’s disease 15 , 16 , 21 , 22 . Subsequent in vitro studies uncovered a striatal circuit by which DA and Ach directly influence each other.…”

“…26,27 Acute dystonic reactions in humans generally respond rapidly to benztropine mesylate (0.02 mg/kg [0.009 mg/lb], IV or IM) administration. 17,[27][28][29] A response is typically seen within 20 minutes after benztropine administration, although administration of a second dose may be necessary after 30 minutes in particularly severe cases, [27][28][29] and treatment with anticholinergic drugs is usually continued for 4 to 7 days to prevent a recurrence. 4 If there is no response to initial treatment, an alternative anti-Parkinsonian agent, such as diphenhydramine hydrochloride, may be given.…”

“…The EPS resolved with the administration of benztropine. 33 Fluoxetineassociated tics occurred in an adolescent naive to pharmacologic agents; they subsided 6 months after drug discontinuation. 34 Oculogyric crisis induced by paroxetine was described in a 9-year-old girl with compulsivity and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.…”
