Introduction: Prescribing cascade is a condition in which a drug administered to a patient causes an adverse reaction that is misinterpreted as a new condition, resulting in the addition of a new drug.
Case Presentation: Here, we report the case of an elderly female patient who suffered from metabolic, neurologic, and urinary consequences of a prescribing cascade of antiemetic, antiepileptic, and dopaminergic drugs. While levosulpiride caused Parkinsonian symptoms, the dopaminergic drugs and valproate caused refractory hyponatremia followed by altered sensorium, and clidinium contributed to urinary retention.

Background: Neuropsychiatric side effects of cardiac drugs such as nervousness, mood swings and agitation may be misinterpreted as symptoms of anxiety. Anxiety in cardiac patients is highly prevalent and associated with poor outcomes, thus an accurate identification is essential. The objectives were to: (I) describe the possible neuropsychiatric side effects of common cardiac drug therapies, (II) describe the use of cardiac drug therapy in cardiac patients with self-reported symptoms of anxiety compared to those with no symptoms of anxiety, and (III) investigate the association between the use of cardiac drug therapy and self-reported symptoms of anxiety.
