  • Title: Psychotic patients who become worse on neuroleptics.
    Author: Bowers MB, Swigar ME.
    Journal: J Clin Psychopharmacol; 1988 Dec; 8(6):417-21. PubMed ID: 2906948.
    Abstract:
    We describe a group of psychotic patients who became worse early in the course of neuroleptic treatment. Characteristics of this group were: predominantly female sex, relatively brief onset, family history of affective disorder, hypomotoric presentation, and severe neuroleptic side effects. We propose that some patients with affective psychoses are uniquely susceptible to profound blockade of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system by neuroleptics.
