4. Symptoms

The length of time that it takes for symptoms of neuroleptic malignant syndrome to appear will vary from person to person. In some cases, the symptoms will show in just a few days after the drug was administered. In others, it might be several months before the patient experiences any symptoms at all.

In most cases, the symptoms will tend to show at around two weeks after the offending dose has been given. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome tends not to happen when the patient is taking a steady dosage for a while. Rather it happens on their first dose, when the dosage is changed, or when the medication is changed.
