Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2003 Mar;13(2):135-6. doi: 10.1016/s0924-977x(02)00124-4.

Abstract

This case illustrates the induction of manic-like symptoms in a 26-year-old male patient with DSM-IV paranoid schizophrenia following treatment with quetiapine. The only drug he had received prior to quetiapine was risperidone which was occasionally taken in the previous 3 years. The manic symptoms remitted after quetiapine withdrawal.
