Abstract

A 33-year-old woman with no significant psychiatric history began to have depressive and anxiety symptoms that worsened over time. She had depressed mood, loss of interest in her daily household works, reduced sleep and appetite, fatigability and irritability. A provisional diagnosis of depressive disorder was made and she was prescribed 20 mg/day paroxetine with the dose being increased to 60 mg/day at her third outpatient psychiatric appointment. After 2 weeks she noticed milk secretion from both her nipples. There were no abnormalities in blood chemistry, thyroid function tests and beta human chorionic gonadotropin. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hypothalamic/pituitary area was normal. The serum prolactin, FSH, DHEAS and estradiol levels were normal. Because her galactorrhea developed after increasing the paroxetine dosage to 60 mg/day, we reduced the dosage by 10 mg per week. The discharge stopped when we reached a dosage of 30 mg/day paroxetine. The temporal relationship between the paroxetine dose increase and the onset of galactorrhea and between the drug dose decrease and the remission of galactorrhea suggests a possible etiologic role for this drug.

Özet

Daha öncesinde belirgin bir psikiyatrik öyküsü olmayan 33 yaşında kadın hastada zaman içinde kötüleşen depresyon ve anksiyete belirtilerinin ortaya çıktığı öğrenildi. Depresif duygu durum, günlük ev işlerine yönelik ilgi kaybı, uyku ve iştahta azalma, çabuk yorulma ve irritabilitesi vardı. Depresif bozukluk öntanısı konarak 20 mg/gün paroksetin tedavisi başlanarak, üçüncü kez ayaktan polikliniğe başvurduğunda tedavi dozu 60 mg/ güne yükseltildi. İki hafta sonra her iki memesinden süt salgısı geldiği öğrenildi. Kan biokimyası, tiroid fonksiyon testleri ve beta insan koryonik gonadotropini düzeylerinde anormal bulgu yoktu. Hipotalamik/ hipofizer alana yönelik magnetik rezonans görüntülemesi normal bulundu. Serum prolaktin, FSH, DHEAS ve östradiol düzeyleri normal bulundu. Galaktore paroksetin dozunun 60 mg/güne yükseltilmesinden sonra başladığı için, dozu haftada 10 mg azalttık. Otuz mg/ gün paroksetin düzeyine ulaşıldığında süt salgısı kesildi. Paroksetin doz artışı ile galaktorenin başlangıcı ve ilaç dozunun azaltılması ile galaktorenin düzelmesi arasındaki zamansal ilişki, ilaca ait olası etyolojik bir rolün varlığını akla getirmektedir.
