The authors report the occurrence of apathy,
indifference, inattention, and perseveration in an obsessive compulsive
patient taking high doses of fluoxetine. These changes were associated
with a decrease in cerebral blood flow in the frontal lobes and changes
in neuropsychological tests generally associated with frontal lobe
impairment. These clinical manifestations disappeared 4 weeks after
discontinuation of fluoxetine.
