Q

what are high potency typical antipsychotics known for

A

Extrapyramidal symptoms- symptoms affecting the basal ganglia, causing movement disorders:

dystonia: stiffness and spasm

akathisia: restlessness and urge to move

Bradykinesia

Tardive dyskinesia: choreoathetosis, lip-smacking, grimacing

12
Q

why are extrapyramidal symptoms more pronounced in high potency typical antipsychotics?

A

D2>A2>5HT>H1

when D2 receptors are antagonized, neurotransmitters won’t be released from the caudate, leading to movement disorders
