===Antipsychotics=== [[Chlorpromazine]], an [[antipsychotic]] and [[antiemetic]] drug which is classed as a "major" [[tranquilizer]], may cause paradoxical effects such as agitation, hallucinations, excitement, insomnia, bizarre dreams, aggravation of psychotic symptoms and toxic confusional states.<ref>[https://adhdscan.com/blog/chlorpromazine/ Chlorpromazine - Adverse Effects- Behavioral Reactions]</ref> These may be more common in elderly dementia patients. The apparent worsening of [[dementia]] may be due to the [[anticholinergic]] side effects of many antipsychotics.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Singh |first1=R.R. |last2=Nayak |first2=R. |date=June 2012 |title=PMH76 Impact of Fda Black Box Warning on the Prescribing of Atypical Antipsychotics in Non-Institutionalized Dementia Patients |journal=Value in Health |volume=15 |issue=4 |pages=A95 |doi=10.1016/j.jval.2012.03.521 |issn=1098-3015|doi-access=free }}</ref>
