title: Sertraline, escitalopram and tianeptine related abnormal movements but not with bupropion: a case report.
abstract: It is not scarce that patients experience various extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) during antidepressant drug therapy. Thus, choice of an antidepressant drug in case of extrapyramidal side effects, at present, is a dilemma. Escitalopram, which is a recently marketed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), has no such reputation. There is just one case reported for tianeptine that induced abnormal involuntary movements/extrapyramidal side effects. We would like to present a case that was successfully managed with bupropion which had developed EPS during 2 different SSRI (sertraline and escitalopram) and tianeptine therapy.
