Q: A 28-year-old man presented with elevated mood, vivid speech, muscle twitching, and dilated pupils. He kept on scratching himself repeatedly because he stated that 'beguine crawling under my skin.' Vital signs were blood pressure 170/105, heart rate 120 bpm, respiration 20 min. After a short time, stereotyped behavior developed accompanied by panicked delusions, but the man remained oriented and alert. Which of the following drugs most likely caused the patient's syndrome?
