Aripiprazole induced neck dystonia and oculogyric crisis

Dysphagia to Liquids Only Associated With Olanzapine

“…The phenomenon usually subsided immediately after an antihistamine drug or anticholinergic drug was injected and improved after dose reduction in the following days. [5][6][7] More unusually, the withdrawal-emergent oculogyric crisis has been reported in patients treated with clozapine or olanzapine but yet has been reported in aripiprazole treated patients. 8,9 Previous reported risk factors of oculogyric crisis, including younger age, male sex, high dose, and parenteral administration of antipsychotic medication, 10 also did not correspond with this patient's clinical characteristic.…”

“…3 Unlike these common side effects in the literature, 3 olanzapine-induced esophageal motility disorder cases were also reported. [4][5][6] In these cases, dysphagia against both solid and liquid foods developed, and pressure variations were identified in the lower esophageal sphincter using an esophageal manometer. In the present article, we would like to present a patient who developed swallowing difficulties only with liquids after olanzapine treatment whose esophageal lower sphincter pressure was normal.…”

Aripiprazole-Associated Acute Dystonia During Dose Reduction in Patient With Schizophrenia and Dementia

“…In these case reports, the acute dystonia tended to occur during the dose increment and the adverse event could be developed at either a low dose of 10 mg/d or a high dose of 30 mg/d. The phenomenon usually subsided immediately after an antihistamine drug or anticholinergic drug was injected and improved after dose reduction in the following days 5–7 . More unusually, the withdrawal-emergent oculogyric crisis has been reported in patients treated with clozapine or olanzapine but yet has been reported in aripiprazole treated patients 8,9 .…”

Aripiprazole-Induced Oculogyric Crisis: A Pediatric Case Series and A Brief Narrative Review

“…In all cases except one, the resolution of symptoms occurred after the discontinuation of aripiprazole and the adjunct of benzodiazepines or anticholinergics [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. In one case, despite stopping all psychotropic medications for 3 months, recurrent episodes of OGC persisted for 7 months.…”
