Isoniazid (INH) induced psychosis is great problem in the management of tuberculosis in developing countries like India. Stoppage of INH can lead to resistant and worsening of patient's condition. Here we reported a case of INH induced psychosis which was managed by antipsychotics (olanzapine) without stopping antitubercular drug (INH) contrary to previous recommendation. Olanzapine also has beneficial effect in improving patient general condition.
