    The document discusses antipsychotic drugs used to treat schizophrenia and their potential side effects. [1] Antipsychotics work by decreasing dopamine levels, which can cause extrapyramidal side effects like akinesia, akathisia, pseudoparkinsonism, dystonia, and tardive dyskinesia. [2] These side effects are treated by using anticholinergic drugs that decrease acetylcholine or dopamine agonists. [3] Common drugs used to treat the side effects include benztropine, diphenhydramine, amantadine, and various dopamine agonists.
