| Core Tip |
Olanzapine-induced restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a rare adverse drug reaction with an incidence of only 0.5%-2.3%, easily ignored in psychiatric practice. This article reports two elderly female schizophrenia patients complicated with multiple physical illnesses who developed typical RLS after olanzapine administration. We analyze its possible mechanisms related to dopaminergic dysfunction and abnormal iron metabolism, summarize individualized dose adjustment and antipsychotic switching strategies, and remind clinicians to actively screen RLS symptoms during olanzapine treatment. |
