Fluoxetine induced dyskinesia

Aust N Z J Psychiatry. 1994 Jun;28(2):328-30. doi: 10.1080/00048679409075647.

Abstract

A case of fluoxetine induced dyskinesia in an elderly woman with previous use of low dose haloperidol is described. In contrast to neuroleptic induced tardive dyskinesia it was characterised by a rapid onset after commencing fluoxetine and rapid resolution on cessation. In the case discussion we describe other cases of fluoxetine induced extrapyramidal syndromes and possible mechanisms.
