INTRODUCTION: Although recent publications have focused on discontinuation symptoms of antidepressant medications, most classes of psychotropic drugs have been reported to have withdrawal symptoms. In light of the increased rate of psychotropic prescribing by primary care physicians, it is important for all physicians to be aware of psychotropic withdrawal symptoms. CASE REPORT: We report on a patient who developed symptoms consistent with neuroleptic malignant syndrome after abrupt discontinuation of a variety of psychotropic medications. METHODS: A MEDLINE search including both articles and letters to the editor was performed to identify symptoms reported in association with the discontinuation of psychotropic medications.
