Case report of withdrawal dyskinesia associated with amoxapine.
The antidepressant amoxapine is structurally related to the neuroleptic loxapine and can cause side effects related to hypothesized dopamine receptor blockade. This case of withdrawal dyskinesia after amoxapine discontinuation further demonstrates its potential for causing side effects associated with neuroleptics.
