Tardive dyskinesia associated with
fluoxetine.
Dubovsky SL, Thomas
M.
Department of Psychiatry, University of Colorado School of
Medicine in Denver, USA.
Three cases in which patients who were
taking fluoxetine for relief of depression showed patterns of abnormal
movements suggestive of tardive dyskinesia are presented. In the first
case, abnormal facial movements began four weeks after fluoxetine was
added to doxepin and lithium and remitted after fluoxetine was
discontinued. In the second case, abnormal movements of the mouth and
hands were noticed four years after the patient started taking
fluoxetine and continued to be present a year after withdrawal of the
medication. In the third case, orofacial dyskinesia that had remitted
after withdrawal of sertraline and paroxetine and reappeared with
fluoxetine was still present eight months after fluoxetine was
withdrawn.
