acute dystonia that involves muscle spasms of the neck;
Torticollis develops within 1 to 5 days after beginning therapy with a
conventional antipsychotic
involuntary repetitious tonic muscular spasms that involve the
face, tongue, lips, limbs, and trunk; takes several months to years
to develop after the start of therapy with a conventional
Tardive dyskinesia
antipsychotic
d/c if observed, may be reversible
extrapyramidal tract response that includes masklike facies,
shuffling gait, pill-rolling tremors, stooped posture, and drooling;
Pseudoparkinsonism
develops within several days to 1 month after the start of therapy
with a conventional antipsychotic
severe, potentially fatal response to conventional antipsychotics
Neuroleptic malignant caused by acute reduction in dopamine activity, precipitating
syndrome hyperthermia/pyrexia, tachycardia, tachypnea, unstable blood
pressure, dyskinesia, incontinence, decreased level of
consciousness
, 2nd gen atypical antipsychotic drug that is more effective than
other second-generation antipsychotics
Seizures, sedation, and akathisia are common side effects

while the antipsychotic medication is continued
aversion therapy for alcohol addiction/abuse
cannot tolerate alcohol when on it
