Agomelatine-induced akathisia with concomitant duloxetine medication: a case report.

A 29-year-old depressed, otherwise healthy female patient was treated with agomelatine and duloxetine. She developed subsequent akathisia, which subsided after cessation of agomelatine. As a cause we suggest a pharmacodynamic drug-drug interaction leading to noradrenergic overstimulation. We recommend only gradual dose titration when combining the 2 substances to minimize the risk for side effects. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
