In this episode, we discuss the diagnosis and management of extrapyramidal symptoms.

Here are some questions Dr. Pontone addresses:

• Are there any biomarkers or neuroimaging studies that help us differentiate drug-induced EPS from Parkinson’s disease?
• What can you do after you identify extrapyramidal symptoms? What should be your first step?
• Is it okay to use anticholinergic agents prophylactically?
• What is the prognosis for extrapyramidal symptoms?
• How long does it typically take for extrapyramidal symptoms to remit?
