[Mental complications of neuroleptic drugs. Confusional oneiric states].
The author reports five cases of relatively young women, in good general health, except that one of them had alcoholic liver disease, who presented a confusional state on taking neuroleptics: a widely used butyrophenone, prescribed for a psychotic condition. Owing to the low incidence of this side effect, these clinical cases were worth reporting. Furthermore, a trial of interpretation led us to believe that these reductions in consciousness were due to resistance to treatment.
