Induction of the rabbit syndrome following coadministration of paroxetine, perphenazine, and amitriptyline.
The authors present a case of paroxetine-induced rabbit syndrome in a 65-year-old white woman. To their knowledge, this is the first report in the literature describing rabbit syndrome induced by the administration of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor-specifically, paroxetine in combination with perphenazine and amitriptyline.
