English term or phrase: "nerve-turner"

Hello! I need help here with this term. To be honest, I could not find a reliable Spanish equivalent for this (specially considering that I need the Spanish meaning of "nuerolépticos" based on its Greek derivatives).
This is the context:

"When originally developed, these drugs were called “neuroleptics.” This term literally means “nerve-turner,” based on its Greek derivatives. As other classes of drugs were developed that also “turned the nerves,” they acquired names that were more specifically consistent with their target symptoms: antidepressants, anxiolytics, or minor tranquilizers."

Thanks and regards
Julia

Notes to answerer

Asker: Gracias por la ayuda. La verdad es que yo sé qué son los neurolépticos, mi problema radicaba en la resolución del término "nerve-turner", ya que había encontrado "atar" para léptico y no me terminaba de cerrar con "turner" ni tengo conocimientos sobre griego como para decir a ciencia cierta "que significa tal o tal cosa". Gracias por el debate, siempre ayuda.
