Article Abstract

Because this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.

Somnambulism has been reported with the use of atypical antipsychotics. However, we have found no reports of recurrent somnambulism in the same patient as a result of using different antipsychotics from this class. We present a case of somnambulism induced in a bipolar patient by olanzapine, quetiapine, and the new atypical antipsychotic asenapine.
