Hyperkinetic movement disorders are characterized by excess movement, and include chorea, akathesia, asterixis, dystonia, tremor, myoclonus, and tics. A wide variety of pharmacologic agents may induce or exacerbate these disorders. Neuroleptic-induced tardive dyskinesia and levodopa-induced hyperkinesia are the most common causes of medication-induced chorea. However, several nonneuroleptic agents, including antidepressants and antiepileptic medications, may also worsen hyperkinetic movement disorders. Over-the-counter medications, such as analgesics and antiheartburn medications, have also occasionally been implicated as causing hyperkinetic movement disorders. Most information regarding drug-induced hyperkinetic disorders comes from case reports and anecdotes, rather than controlled clinical trials. Further research with larger controlled trials needs to verify many of these findings.
