Neuroleptic malignant syndrome following combination of sertraline and paroxetine: a case report

Faruk Uguz et al. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 2013 May-Jun.

Abstract

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) is a rarely observed life-threatening medical condition due mostly to antipsychotic use. Additionally, a few case reports have suggested an association between NMS and the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) alone or in combination with antipsychotics. This case report presents a female patient developing NMS following the use of a combination of sertraline and paroxetine.
