Abstract :Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors can lead to increased prolactin levels and galactorrhea. Herein, we reported a 40-year-old female patient who developed galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia two weeks after initiation of fluoxetine 20 mg/day. Galactorrhea was discontinued after the fifth week of fluoxetine withdrawal and prolactin levels reached normal limits. The patient\'s depressive symptoms disappeared with citalopram 40 mg/day and no similar side effects were observed during follow-up. Clinicians should be aware of the hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea adverse effects of fluoxetine.
Keywords : fluoksetin, galaktore, prolaktin, hiperprolaktinemi
