- The present article aimed to identify those receptor(s) that are most likely to be involved with or mediate antipsychotics-induced diabetes.[doi.org]
- If this or any other presentation of the syndrome is observed, the clinician should consider possible discontinuation of antipsychotic medication. (See WARNINGS section.)[rxlist.com]
Entire Body System
Disability
- Changes in manifest psychosis (symptoms) and social disability were assessed by the use of the Lorr scale (IMPS) and the Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation (NOSIE) at suitable intervals.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Orthostatic Hypotension
- Dental Health: Effects on Dental Treatment Significant hypotension may occur, especially when the drug is administered parenterally; orthostatic hypotension is due to alpha-receptor blockade, the elderly are at greater risk for orthostatic hypotension[syrianclinic.com]

Skin
Formication
- Utilizing a Waters Acquity UPLC HSS T3 1.8μm, 2.1 50mm column at 25ºC, the analytes were separated using a timed, linear gradient of acetonitrile and water, each having 0.1% formic acid added.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Psychiatrical
Suggestibility
- While the results are very preliminary, the authors suggest that future studies differentiate the cis and trans isomers, and analyze relative as well as absolute changes in plasma levels as compared to clinical changes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Experience with thiothixene suggested that it was comparable with control drugs in the activation of withdrawn patients but needs to be used in combination with a more sedative antipsychotic agent in the treatment of some paranoid patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Using overall improvement ratings and Gorham's BPRS, zotepine rated higher improvement in motor retardation, suspiciousness, mannerisms and posturing symptoms, suggesting that it has both activating and antipsychotic activities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract Clinical impressions suggest that thioridazine hydrochloride produces fewer extrapyramidal effects and more sedation than thiothixene.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The results suggest that acute single-dose levels may be useful in predicting clinical response to thiothixene.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Neurologic
Seizure
- Contraindications Documented hypersensitivity Blood dyscrasias Coma Circulatory collapse CNS depression (including coma) Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) Poorly controlled seizure disorder Breastfeeding Cautions Alcohol withdrawal, cardiovascular[reference.medscape.com]
- Stop taking and see physician NOW: Seizures.[psyweb.com]
- Thiothixene may increase the tendency to have seizures. People who have had seizures in the past, including alcohol or drug-induced seizures, should take thiothixene only after discussing the risks and benefits with their physician.[minddisorders.com]
- Possible risk of seizures; may lower seizure threshold. 101 b c u Use with extreme caution in patients with a history of seizures or during alcohol withdrawal. 101 b c u (See Specific Drugs and Laboratory Tests under Interactions.)[drugs.com]
- Ask your doctor before taking a sleeping pill, narcotic pain medicine, prescription cough medicine, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.[everydayhealth.com]
Agitation
- BACKGROUND: Pharmacologic strategies are often required to help manage agitated patients with delirium. First-and second-generation antipsychotic medications (such as haloperidol, quetiapine, and olanzapine) are commonly used.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Low potency neuroleptics have also been advocated because their sedative properties might better calm the acutely agitated manic patient.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Abstract In this double-blind study, haloperidol (n 15) and thiothixene (n 15), administered parenterally in emergency rooms and outpatient facilities to 30 acutely excited, agitated psychotic patients in hourly doses of 4 mg. or 8 mg., as needed over[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Akathisia
- Akathisia with haloperidol could not be suppressed completely in half of the patients. Treatment-resistant akathisia was experienced as anxiety and depression.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Side effects on high dose included several instances of EPS: akathisia and tremor, and transient CNS stimulation. Low dose produced persistent CNS stimulation: excitement and insomnia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- A high incidence of akathisia in the thiothixene group was responsible for a statistically significant difference between groups in the number of central nervous system symptoms.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- May cause extrapyramidal reactions, including pseudoparkinsonism, acute dystonic reactions, akathisia, and tardive dyskinesia (risk of these reactions is high relative to other neuroleptics).[syrianclinic.com]
- Observed side effects include drowsiness/sedation, insomnia/agitation, Parkinsonism, akathisia, and weight gain. See Also References and Readings Janicak, P. G., Davis, J. M., Preskorn, S. H., & Ayd, F. J. (2001).[link.springer.com]

- The results encourage the use and further evaluation of melpherone in the treatment of psychotic patients.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- There was no significant relationship between diagnosis and outcome of treatment.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
