A potentially fatal reaction that most often occurs as a result of the use of antipsychotic drugs. It is characterised by fever, muscle rigidity, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), profuse sweating, tachycardia, tachypnoea (rapid breathing), agitation. * Stevens-Johnson syndrome a potentially fatal skin reaction. * Toxic epidermal necrolysis another potentially fatal skin reaction. * Torsades de pointes a potentially fatal change in the heart's rhythm. * Cerebrovascular spasm * Serotonin syndrome similar to neuroleptic malignant syndrome but develops more rapidly (over a period of hours instead of days/weeks for neuroleptic malignant syndrome) * Bone fracture * Movement disorders * Diabetes mellitus * Dyspnoea * Jaundice yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes and eyes due to an impaired ability of the liver to clear the haem breakdown by product, bilirubin. * Hepatitis * Liver failure * Persistent Sexual Dysfunction See Also
