title: Amisulpride-induced tardive motor and phonic tics.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report a patient with tardive tics possibly induced by the atypical neuroleptic drug amisulpride.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 55-year-old woman developed motor and phonic tics after a prolonged treatment with amisulpride. Tics improved and finally disappeared after amisulpride withdrawal.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Tardive motor and phonic tics should be considered as a possible adverse effect of amisulpride.
