“…1 There are a few cases implicating other SSRIs in the development or exacerbation of tics, stuttering, or Tourette's symptoms, 8 -11 ' 1721 ' 28 although in contrast there are also reports in which such symptoms were treated with fluoxetine 19 and the combination of escitalopram and risperdone. 26 A limitation of the current case report is the lack of psychometric data tracking the patient's symptoms. As this was a clinical treatment case, and not considered a research case during the time of active care, psychological testing was not performed; symptom remission was assessed based on patient report and objective exam.…”

This case report describes a patient with reportedly new onset of tics, beginning at 21 years of age, in the context of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and comorbid alcohol abuse, with no known head injury. The setting is an American Society of Addiction Medicine intensive outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation program in an United States Army Medical Center. The patient is a 22-year-old male diagnosed with alcohol abuse and delayed PTSD who presented to the program's medical officer due to insomnia. We discovered he had a reportedly new ocular tic of ∼9 months duration, which he claimed developed at 21 years of age soon after returning from 1 year of combat duty. The patient was thoroughly evaluated, and we surmised the tic was a symptom of PTSD. After achieving full remission from alcohol, the tic persisted. However, as his PTSD symptoms remitted, so did his tic symptoms. At 6-month follow-up, the patient reported he was essentially free from PTSD symptoms, and his tic was significantly reduced.

“…The patient's first access to mental health care was on Thanksgiving Day (November 26,2005) when he was brought to the emergency department by his command after being found drunk on duty. Several hours after his last drink, his blood alcohol content (via Breathalyzer at the military police station) was 0.179%.…”

Stuttering is a vocal phenomenon, which manifests itself as disturbances in speech fluency. While stuttering is most commonly treated with speech therapy and psychotherapy, a number of antipsychotic agents have been investigated as possible treatments. We present the case of a 37-year-old man who developed a post-concussive syndrome with psychosis and associated stuttering after his second exposure to a blast from an improvised explosive device (IED). After treatment with olanzapine, both his psychosis and his stuttering showed significant improvement. We also discuss stuttering and review previous studies that have investigated antipsychotic use in stuttering.
