9. Diagnosis

That patients will sometimes experience a dystonic reaction from certain drugs is well known. Thus, if the symptom does occur, it is usually reasonably safe to reach a diagnosis from the symptom alone. A further look into the patient’s medical history can further confirm the diagnosis.

As mentioned, the reaction is usually harmless and is also fairly short-lived. When the symptoms pass fairly quickly, as usually happens, it provides further confirmation of the cause. If the symptoms do not pass, however, or if the symptoms are particularly severe, then the doctor might choose to investigate further to reach a conclusive diagnosis.
