Abstract
A chronic schizophrenic patient with a neuroleptic-induced dystonic reaction and akathisia, both of which were unresponsive to benztropine and diphenhydramine, derived rapid therapeutic benefit from diazepam. This case report indicates that low-dose diazepam may be an effective alternative to anticholinergics for the treatment of extrapyramidal symptoms in some patients.
