Question:
Olanzapine is an antipsychotic medication that decreases dopamine secretion. This decrease in dopamine can lead to development of extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), including akathisia (inability to sit still, no pattern to movements), tardive dyskinesia (bizarre movements of jaw, mouth, tongue, extremities), and pseudoparkinsonism (rigidity, tremors, pill rolling, shuffling gait). These symptoms can be managed with the administration of antiparkinsonian drugs.
