AB  - Hyperthermia  may  be  associated  with  poisoning  by  amphetamines  and  other  synthetic  stimulants  (cathinones,  piperazines),  atropine  and  other  anticholinergic  drugs,  cocaine,  salicylates,  strychnine,  2,4-dinitrophenol,  tricyclic  antidepressants,  and  various  other  medications.  Overdoses  of  serotonin  reuptake  inhibitors  (eg,  fluoxetine,  paroxetine,  sertraline)  or  their  use  in  a  patient  taking  an  MAO  inhibitor  may  cause  agitation,  hyperactivity,  myoclonus,  and  hyperthermia  (“serotonin  syndrome”).  Antipsychotic  agents  can  cause  rigidity  and  hyperthermia  (neuroleptic  malignant  syndrome).  (See  section  on  schizophrenia  and  other  psychotic  disorders  in  Chapter  25.)  Malignant  hyperthermia  is  a  rare  disorder  associated  with  general  anesthetic  agents.
