Abstract

Rabbit syndrome is an antipsychotic-induced movement disorder associated with long-term exposure of typical antipsychotics and rarely atypical psychotics. We report the case of a 56-year-old female patient who was suffering from a bipolar mood disorder and was well maintained on olanzapine 10 mg per day. She developed rabbit syndrome 1 year after the initiation of the drug.
