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 symptoms.

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 movements).<ref>http://link.springer.com/article/10.2165%2F00002018-200528030-00002</ref>

These symptoms include:

*'''Muscle contractions''' - Uncontrolled and severe contractions can occur in one's head, neck, and limbs and may cause a stiff tongue, arched back, or twisted neck.

*'''Continuous [[muscle spasms]]'''

*'''Restlessness''' - This can include nervous energy such as pacing or tapping one's foot.

*Parkinsonism (characteristic symptoms such as rigidity)

*'''Decreased bodily movement'''

*'''[[Tremors]]'''

*'''Stiff posture''' - This can include the lack of arm movement when walking.

*tardive dyskinesia (irregular, jerky movements).<ref>http://link.springer.com/article/10.2165%2F00002018-200528030-00002</ref>

*Uncontrolled movements of your tongue, jaw, lips, or face, such as pursing, chewing, or frequent eye blinking

*Uncontrolled movements of your fingers or toes, head nodding, or pelvic thrusting

*Fast, irregular breathing with grunts, gasping, or sighing

*Weak voice, drooling, or little or no facial expression
