Emergencies caused by side effects of psychiatric medications.
American Journal of Emergency Medicine 1994 March
Psychiatric medications cause side effects in several organ systems that need emergency evaluation and treatment. Serious cardiovascular side effects include postural hypotension, cardiac conduction blockade, and SA mode dysfunction; serious neurological side effects include extrapyramidal reactions, seizures, delirium, catatonia, pseudotumor cerebri, ataxia, and glaucoma; serious genitourinary side effects include urinary retention, nephrotic syndrome, and priapism, and the serious hematological side effect of agranulocytosis. Also potentially fatal syndromes secondary to psychiatric drugs are the neuroleptic malignant syndrome, hyperandrenergic crisis, the serotonin syndrome, and lithium toxicity. Individual psychiatric drug classes most notorious for causing side effects with high morbidity and mortality are low potency neuroleptics, clozapine, tertiary tricyclics, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, and lithium.
