Abstract

Antihistamine usage is commonplace for alleviating allergy symptoms, though they are not without side-effects. We present a case of antihistamine use precipitating upper and lower extremity ballismus in a patient. We also discuss other case reports which outline similar dopaminergic dysregulation secondary to antihistamine usage, as well as our recommendations for prevention of these symptoms.
