VIDEOS IN MEDICINE

Tardive Dyskinesia due to AripiprazoleJoseph H. Friedman, MD
This 66-year-old woman developed involuntary movements about two years prior to this video, after 6 months use of aripiprazole for refractory depression. The aripiprazole was the only dopamine receptor blocking drug she had ever taken, and had been stopped when the movements developed. The movements were probably exacerbated by her chemotherapy-induced dry mouth that began a year prior to the movements. She also had mild choreo-athetoid movements of her feet (not shown in video).The patient was taking cevimeline, valacyclovir, clonazepam, and vilazodone at the time of the video.

Aripiprazole is a second-generation antipsychotic drug that is FDA approved for treating refractory depression. It is known to cause parkinsonism, that is reversible, as well as tardive syndromes, which are usually permanent, and should be used with the same caution as all other anti-psychotic drugs.
