Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), also known as extrapyramidal side effects (EPSE), are drug-induced movement disorders that include acute and tardive symptoms.

'''Extrapyramidal symptoms''' (EPS), also known as '''extrapyramidal side effects''' (EPSE), are drug-induced movement disorders that include acute and tardive/chronic symptoms. They are mainly caused by the blockade of dopamine at dopaminergic receptors.

~~These~~ symptoms ~~include~~ dystonia ([[~~muscle~~ spasms|~~continuous spasms~~]] and muscle ~~contractions)~~, akathisia ~~(motor restlessness)~~, ~~parkinsonism (characteristic symptoms~~ such as ~~rigidity)~~, ~~bradykinesia (slowness~~ of ~~movement)~~, and ~~tremor~~, ~~and tardive dyskinesia (irregular~~, ~~jerky)~~.

==Types and their symptoms==

===Acute dystonia===

[[File:Medication-induced dystonia.JPG|275px|thumbnail|right|A patient experiencing acute dystonia caused by a dopamine-blocking medication.]]

Acute dystonia is a painful and often severe type of extrapyramidal symptoms that occurs shortly (within less than a day){{citation needed}} after the administration of an [[dopamine|antidopaminergic]] agent.

[[Muscle spasms|Continuous muscle contractions]] can occur in the head, neck, and limbs and may cause a stiff tongue, arched back, or twisted neck. Dystonia also includes a lack of ability to move muscle and low muscle tone.

Treatment of acute dystonia is often an anticholinergic agent and/or a benzodiazepine.{{citation needed}}

===Akathisia===

Akathisia is characterized by restlessness, a need to move, constant sitting down and standing up, pacing, etc. Treatments for akathisia are anticholinergics, beta blockers, or [[benzodiazepines]]. Akathisia typically develops some time during a medication regimen{{citation needed}}

===Psuedoparkinsonism===

Psuedoparkinsonism occurs often further than akathisia.{{citation needed}} It is often noticed by seeing:

*tremoring hands in a "pill-rolling" pose,

*a stooped posture,

*slowed movements,

*shuffling, small steps,

and others. Others also include that when the person turns, they must do so very slowly and sometimes cannot change positions, such as standing to sitting, without a support.

===Tardive dyskinesia===

This disorder develops over long periods of time{{citation needed}} and is noticed by these signs: involuntary chewing, lip smacking or sucking, twitching, and/or involuntary movements of the limbs that are often jerky. It is treated by putting the patient on a dopaminergic medication regimen, such as using valbenzaine, tetrabenazine, ropinirole, or pramipexole.

==Causes==

Extrapyramidal symptoms are most commonly caused by typical antipsychotic drugs that antagonize dopamine D2 receptors.

Extrapyramidal symptoms are most commonly caused by typical antipsychotic drugs that [[Antagonist|antagonize]] [[dopamine]] D2 [[receptors]].

The most common typical antipsychotics associated with EPS are [[haloperidol]] and [[fluphenazine]].

Other antidopaminergic drugs, like the [[Nausea suppression|antiemetic]] metoclopramide, can also result in extrapyramidal side effects.<ref>Moos, D. D., & Hansen, D. J. (2008). Metoclopramide and Extrapyramidal Symptoms: A Case Report. Journal of Perianesthesia Nursing, 23(5), 292–299. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jopan.2008.07.006</ref>

~~Other anti~~-~~dopaminergic drugs~~, ~~like the antiemetic metoclopramide~~, ~~can~~ also ~~result~~ in extrapyramidal ~~side effects~~.

Short and long-term use of antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ([[SSRI]]), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRI), and norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRI) has also resulted in extrapyramidal symptoms. Specifically, duloxetine, sertraline, escitalopram, fluoxetine, and bupropion have been linked to the induction of extrapyramidal symptoms.<ref>Madhusoodanan, S., Alexeenko, L., Sanders, R., & Brenner, R. (2010). Extrapyramidal symptoms associated with antidepressants--a review of the literature and an analysis of spontaneous reports.

[[Acetylcholine|Anticholinergic]] drugs are used to control neuroleptic-induced EPS, although akathisia may require beta blockers or even [[benzodiazepines]]. If the EPS are induced by an [[antipsychotic]], EPS may be reduced by dose [[Tapering|titration]] or by switching to an atypical [[antipsychotic]], such as aripiprazole, ziprasidone, [[quetiapine]], olanzapine, [[risperidone]], or clozapine.

~~==Treatment==~~

Commonly used medications for EPS are [[acetylcholine|anticholinergic]] agents such as benztropine (Cogentin), biperiden (Akineton), [[diphenhydramine]] (Benadryl), and trihexyphenidyl (Artane). Another common course of treatment includes [[dopamine]] [[agonist]] agents, such as pramipexole and ropinirole. These medications reverse the symptoms of extrapyramidal side effects caused by [[antipsychotics]] or other drugs that either directly or indirectly inhibit [[Dopamine|dopaminergic]] neurotransmission.
