The use of anticholinergic medications (eg. benztropine) is the treatment of choice as pseudoparkinsonism is caused by neuroleptics/antipsychotic medications that decrease dopamine activity in the brain. As you can't you the typical treatment for parkinsonism (ie. increase dopamine activity - as this would abolish the effect that you are trying to have with the antipsychotics) the only choice left is to reduce the activity of acetylcholine or adjust the dose of the antipsychotic medication to an alternative and hope that the side effects are lessened on the new medication.
Hope this helps
