Robinson RL, Burk MS, Raman S
Abstract
Olanzapine is a thienobenzodiazepine that is a serotonin and dopamine receptor antagonist. Commonly observed adverse effects include orthostatic hypotension, constipation, weight gain, somnolence, extrapyramidal symptoms, and elevated body temperature.1 Less common adverse effects include transaminase elevations, hyperprolactinemia, seizures and neuroleptic malignant syndrome.1 We report a case of fever, delirium, autonomic instability, and monocytosis associated with olanzapine therapy.
