Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
In this report the author treated a patient of agoraphobia with Paroxetine, who subsequently developed galactorrhea. The lab reports had shown normal levels of serum prolactin levels in this case. Discontinuing paroxetine decreased the symptoms of galactorrhea in this patient. The study may establish a causal relationship between paroxetine and galactorrhea.
