Fixed drug combination (levosulpiride and rabeprazole)-induced atypical Parkinsonian's disorders with associated anxiety and low-lying depression.

Abstract

We hereby describe a rare case of levosulpiride-induced atypical parkinsonism presenting with sluggish movements, atypical kinetic tremors (tremors with voluntary movement), periorbital tremors, dystonia, difficulty in speech and coordination, postural imbalance, with additional features of difficulty in swallowing and drooling with associated recent onset psychiatric disturbances such as anxiety and low-lying depression. The dechallenge of levosulpiride and medications for associated anxiety and low-lying depression caused a complete remission of the disease within 2 ½ months.
