Abstract

Objective: To report a patient with tardive tics possibly induced by the atypical neuroleptic drug amisulpride.

Case report: 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.
