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