Give benadryl or benztropine
-This reaction is caused by disruption in the balance between dopaminergic and cholinergic pathways in the basal ganglia. They tend to occur within 48 hours of administration of a neuroleptic agent. Patients often experience tongue protrusion, acute torticollis, sustained eye deviation (usually upwards) and arching of the back. Laryngospasm is rare but potentially life threatening. Because dystonic reactions occur as a result of cholinergic dominance, they should be treated with anticholinergic agents including benztropine and diphenhydramine. These agents typically reverse symptoms immediately.
