title: Manic symptoms associated with quetiapine treatment.
abstract: This case illustrates the induction of manic-like symptoms in a 26-year-old male patient with DSM-IV paranoid schizophrenia following treatment with quetiapine. The only drug he had received prior to quetiapine was risperidone which was occasionally taken in the previous 3 years. The manic symptoms remitted after quetiapine withdrawal.
