The leading cause of extrapyramidal syndrome is psychiatric medication. Antipsychotic drugs and some drugs used to treat depression commonly cause extrapyramidal symptoms. Patients who take dopamine blockers can also develop this condition.
Symmetrel is indicated in the treatment of drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions. Although anticholinergic-type side effects have been noted with Symmetrel when used in patients with drug-induced extrapyramidal reactions, there is a lower incidence of these side effects than that observed with the anticholinergic antiparkinson drugs.
