Özet

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.
