Some common extrapyramidal side effects include...
akathisia (a type of restlessness)
dystonia (a type of muscle spasm)
parkinsonism (symptoms resembling parkinsons disease such as tremor, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement etc.)
tardive dyskinesia (a chronic syndrome causing involuntary movements, esp. of the face and mouth). TD is often permanent.
