  • Title: [Neuroleptics and nicotine].
    Author: Erdmann R.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1995 Nov; 22(6):223-7. PubMed ID: 8570751.
    Abstract:
    Excessive smoking is a well know phenomenon in psychiatry. Nicotine, the most important content of cigarette tobacco, interacts with several receptors of neurotransmitters in the CNS: especially the dopaminergic system appears to be relevant in this respect. Nicotine is a potent substance to counteract neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism. On the other hand nicotine is possibly a risk-factor for tardive dyskinesia. Nicotine has enormous therapeutical implications.
