The extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) associated with certain antipsychotic drugs (like Haloperidol, Chlorpromazine etc) with the time frame when they will occur can be remembered by "I came 4 DISCO IN THIS INN):
Note: Start from '4' - The time these EPS appears are 4 hours, 4 days, 4 weeks, 4 months in that order.
- 4 hrs - acute DYStOnia (DISCO) {EPS occurs like disco!}
- 4 days - akINesia (IN)
- 4 weeks - akaTHISia
- 4 months - tardive dyskINesia (INn - extra 'N' is for the delayed complication :-) )
