A member asked:

If person with advanced neurodegenerative disease, taking seroquel zoloft (sertraline) for dementia but develop contraction and rigidity, how is eps treated first?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stop offending meds: By first intention one needs to be sure that the symptoms of EPS in fact, are real. Secondly, stop offending meds (taper depending on which ones) and replace with others which do not have EPS as side effect. Third consider treating with antiparkinsonians if pushed against the wall but typically those medications are not robust at all for these types of problems. I don't like cogentin (benztropine) in Alz. Dz
