How long does it take to get over a drug-induced cone reaction

Generally, drug-induced vertebral reactions are relieved when the drug is discontinued. The exact amount of time cannot be generalized due to individual differences in circumstances. Extrapyramidal reaction is the most common neurological side effect after taking psychotropic drugs, including four manifestations: 1. Acute dystonia: the earliest to appear. It presents with involuntary manifestations, including eye rolling, neck slanting, facial oddities, tongue spitting and scoliosis. Treatment: Intramuscular injection of scopolamine or ipecac can provide prompt relief. Please follow the doctor’s instruction for specific drug dosage. 2. Inability to sit still: most common after 1~2 weeks of treatment. It is characterized by inability to sit still, uncontrollable agitation and restlessness, and repeated walking. Treatment: Benzodiazepines or beta-blockers such as propranolol can be effective within a few hours. Please follow your doctor’s instructions for exact dosage. 3. Parkinson’s-like disorder: It often appears in the early 1~2 months of treatment. The most initial manifestation is bradykinesia, and in severe cases, rickets posture, panic gait and drooling. Treatment: Taking anticholinergic drug phenylephrine hydrochloride can effectively improve the symptoms. 4. Delayed dyskinesia: Most often appears after several years of continuous drug use. This manifestation is characterized by involuntary, rhythmic stereotyped movements. Its severity fluctuates, often disappearing during sleep and worsening during emotional stress. Management: The key is prevention, using the lowest effective dose or switching to a drug with a low extrapyramidal response. Due to individual differences, patients are advised to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in a timely manner, so that prompt treatment can be given after the cause is clarified.
