    Abstract:
    This is a review of reserpine, haloperidol, and various phenothiazines that produce parkinsonism and other movement disorders. The by-products of illicit meperidine synthesis, MPTP and its more sinister companion, MPP, are also discussed. Movement disorders, transient or fixed, frank parkinsonism and/or dyskinesia, due to a variety of other medications and toxic agents are included. These are methanol, lithium, methyldopa, antimetabolites, antidepressants, sympathomimetic anorexiants, some types of antihistamines, and various combinations of agricultural chemicals.
