Neuropsychiatric Adverse Effects of Non-Psychotropic Drugs

N Gyan Nihal

The adverse effects of psychotropic medications and psychoactive substances have been well studied and recognised. Non-psychotropic drugs that are regularly prescribed for various medical disorders are known to have similar neuropsychiatric adverse effects which may range from anxiety to psychosis. Physicians should be aware of neuropsychiatric adverse effects of prescribed drugs so that they can educate patients and caregivers regarding the adverse effects and develop measures to minimize risk.
