Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome:A Unique Association with a Tricyclic Antidepressant
Neurol 40:1797-1798, Baca,L.&Martinelli,L., 1990
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report the 1st case of neuroleptic malignant syndrome occurring in a patient receiving desipramine,a tricyclic antidepressant,with no exposure to neuroleptics.Our case suggests that this syndrome may be caused by a central imbalance between norepinephrine and dopamine,and not be dopamine depletion alone.
