Drug-Induced Neurological Disorders

This work provides a review and analysis of the literature on drug-induced neurological disorders aimed at practising neurologists. It presents an account of drug-induced neurological disorders which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of neurological conditions. The orientation is the opposite of that usually found: here, one begins with the clinical situation and works backward to help determine whether and what medications are involved. A wide range of problems, including headaches, seizures, movement disorders, peripheral neuropathies, drug-induced sleep disorders, Guillain-Barre syndrome, and many others are discussed, with extensive links to other neurological influences of the drugs involved. Cross-references between drugs and adverse effects are therefore easily accomplished, assisted by the full index. In writing this work, the author has critically evaluated over 5000 publications, as well as extensive evidence from unpublished industry reports.
