Extract

Background: This is a report of a 66-year-old male with Parkinson's disease (PD), depression and anxiety who developed tardive dyskinesia (TD) while on fluoxetine.

Methods: The patient underwent psychiatric, neurological and neuroimaging examination.

Results: The patient's neuroimaging examination was normal, his psychiatric assessment revealed depression and anxiety, and his neurological evaluation diagnosed only mild PD. The patient's TD resolved when fluoxetine was discontinued and recurred upon re-exposure.

Conclusion: This case shows that fluoxetine as monotherapy can be associated with TD especially in patients with concomitant PD. Clinicians must be aware of this side-effect and monitor for features of TD due to antidepressants that are often used to treat comorbid depression in patients with PD.
