[Clinical side and adverse effects of antidepressant drugs (author's transl)]

Cases of extrapyramidal-motoric and psychologic side effects are reported when treatment with antidepressant drugs was performed. They have not been mentioned in the literature before. Hypokinetic disorders of speech and motion, tonic-atonic disturbances, dyskinesia and myoclonic muscle contractions are listed. Besides the latter movement disorders, "dreamy state", episodic amnesia ("ictal" amnesia) and amnestic "black out" as transient memory disorders have been observed.
