    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Psychiatry
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Neuroleptic medications are widely used for psychiatric conditions.
    • Catatonia is a complex neuropsychiatric syndrome.
    • Loxapine succinate is an antipsychotic medication.

    Observation:

    • A case of neuroleptic-induced catatonia is presented.
    • The patient developed catatonia after treatment with loxapine succinate.
    • Symptoms included parkinsonism, posturing, social withdrawal, and incontinence.

    Findings:

    • Loxapine succinate, not previously linked to catatonia, induced the syndrome.
    • The catatonic symptoms persisted despite treatment with haloperidol.
    • Discontinuation of the neuroleptic medication led to remission of the syndrome.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the known adverse effects of neuroleptic drugs.
    • Severe neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism may manifest as catatonia.
    • Careful monitoring and drug-discontinuation strategies are crucial in managing such cases.
