Neuroleptic-induced tics in two hyperactive children

C T Gualtieri et al. Am J Psychiatry. 1986 Sep.

Abstract

Two hyperactive boys who had developed motor and phonic tics during stimulant treatment reacted similarly to low doses of haloperidol and thioridazine. Neuroleptic-induced tics may be a consequence of presynaptic dopamine blockade.
