Acute dystonia, also known as an acute dystonic reaction, is a condition that causes involuntarily muscle spasms and a bent or twisted posture. It is generally a side effect of antipsychotic medications which are used in treatment of several different psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and mania associated with bipolar disorder. Acute dystonia is thought to be caused by agents in the medication that block the release of dopamine in the brain.
