There are controversies as to whether "classical" forms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome can occur in patients given atypical antipsychotics. The serotonin syndrome is caused by drug-induced excess of intrasynaptic 5-hydroxytryptamine. The possible relationship between neuroleptic malignant syndrome and serotonin syndrome is at present in the focus of scientific interest. Methods Results

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a life-threatening, neurological disorder most often caused by an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs . It is considered to be a very serious neurological disorder.
Contents
edit
Causes
NMS is caused almost exclusively by antipsychotics, which includes all types of neuroleptic medicines along with newer antipsychotic drugs. The higher the dosage, the more common the occurrence. Rapid and large increases in dosage can also be attributed to the development of NMS. Other drugs, environmental or psychological factors, hereditary conditions, and specific demographics may be at greater risk, but to date no conclusive evidence has been found to support this. The disorder typically develops within two weeks of the initial treatment with the drug, but may develop at any time that the drug is being taken. NMS may also occur in people taking a class of drugs known as dopaminergics edit
Symptoms
The first symptom to develop is usually muscular rigidity, followed by high

Information on Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome
This life-threatening neurological disorder is usually caused by an adverse reaction to anti-psychotic, or neuroleptic drugs.
What is Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome?
Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a life-threatening, neurological disorder most often caused by an adverse reaction to neuroleptic or antipsychotic drugs. Symptoms include high fever, sweating, unstable blood pressure, stupor, muscular rigidity, and autonomic dysfunction. In most cases, the disorder develops within the first 2 weeks of treatment with the drug; however, the disorder may develop any time during the therapy period. The syndrome can also occur in people taking anti-Parkinsonism drugs known as dopaminergics if those drugs are discontinued abruptly.
Is there any treatment?
Generally, intensive care is needed. The neuroleptic or antipsychotic drug is discontinued, and the fever is treated aggressively. A muscle relaxant may be prescribed. Dopaminergic drugs, such as a dopamine agonist, have been reported to be useful.
What is the prognosis?

    • multiple changes from one neuroleptic to another discontinuation of anti-Parkinsonian drugs administration or rapid increase in dose of potent domapine antagonists
    Clinical features
    • hyperthermia and muscle rigidity are always present increased muscle tone may lead to decreased chest wall compliance producing tachypnoeic hypoventilation severe enough to require ventilation motor abnormalities range from akinesia to involuntary movements and fluctuating tremors rigidity and akinesia develop concurrently or shortly before pyrexia impaired consciousness autonomic dysfunction causing sweating, tachycardia and labile blood pressure infrequent findings include:

Identify neuroleptic malignant syndrome
filed under Schizophrenia Medications Clinical Psychiatry Online, in this month's issue, highlights the uncommon, but deadly side effect of anti-psychotic medications called "NMS", or Neuroleptic malignant syndrome, which is a type of hypothermia (low body temperature) which can be halted immediately by discontinuation of the drug. The journal article, (written for doctors, but probably understandable to most lay audiences) describes the diagnosis of the problem using the mnemonic "FEVER" (as a memory trigger). According to this article, FEVER stands for: Fever. Hyperthermia is often considered NMS’ hallmark and distinguishes it from other acute neuropsychiatric disorders. Encephalopathy . Patients may abruptly and unexpectedly become confused, obtunded, and disoriented during early or prodomal NMS stages. Vital sign instability Enzyme elevation.
