Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS), a potentially fatal symptom complex, has been reported in association with the use of antipsychotic drugs. The diagnostic evaluation is complicated and the management requires immediate discontinuation of the antipsychotic therapy and intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring. If a patient that has recovered from NMS requires antipsychotic drug treatment again, the reintroduction of therapy should be carefully considered as NMS recurrences have been reported.
