Comment in:
Complex movement disorders induced by
fluoxetine.
Bharucha KJ, Sethi

Department of Neurology, Medical College of Georgia,
Augusta 30912, USA.
We report two cases of complex movement
disorders induced by fluoxetine. A 72-year-old woman developed rhythmic
palatal movements, myoclonus, chorea, and possibly dystonia after 2
years of therapy with fluoxetine. On withdrawal of fluoxetine, the
movements abated after 5 days and did not recur. The second patient, a
58-year-old man, developed myoclonic jerking and rapid, stereotypic
movements of his toes after a year of fluoxetine therapy. These complex
movements have not been reported previously as an adverse effect of
fluoxetine.
