The leading cause of extrapyramidal syndrome is psychiatric medication. Antipsychotic drugs and some drugs used to treat depression commonly cause extrapyramidal symptoms. Patients who take dopamine blockers can also develop this condition.
EXTRAPYRAMIDAL SIDE EFFECTS. Besides the subjective feeling of discomfort, extrapyramidal side effects of antipsychotics in general can add to the stigma associated with schizophrenia. Some patients can have preexisting motor abnormalities, before the initiation of any antipsychotic medications.ow, more than 15 years after the first atypical antipsychotic entered the market, psychiatrists have gradually come to realize that while extrapyramidal symptoms and tardive dyskinesia occur less frequently with atypical agents, these medications may present a different set of adverse effects.
