We believe this patient is probably the first case of gradual onset dyskinesia with mirtazapine treatment. Mirtazapine has been suggested for treating antipsychotic-induced akathisia. [5] Earlier reports [2],[4] and also our patient suggest that one should be observant while treating patients with mirtazapine for the development of dyskinesia or worsening of akathisia. We agree with Kumar et al. [6] that one should be aware that antidepressant medications can cause various movement disorders.
