In some cases, doctors can't find the cause of the pleurisy. The most common cause of pleural effusion, or fluid in the pleural space, is congestive heart failure. Lung cancer, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other lung infections also can cause swelling of the pleura and lead to a pleural effusion.
Extrapyramidal symptoms (also known as EPS) are a set of side effects that are common with antipsychotic medications, as well as with a few other types of medications. Antipsychotics are prescription medications used to treat psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or psychotic depression.
The most common extrapyramidal system symptoms are akathisia, dystonia, parkinsonism, and tardive dyskinesia. We describe a patient who developed an acute dystonic reaction after taking 100 mg trazodone and his symptoms resolved after receiving intra muscular anticholinergic treatment.
