title: Hyponatremia associated with sertraline and fluoxetine: a case report.
abstract: The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) is a rare but serious adverse effect of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Although many case reports describe this association, few report the effect of rechallenge with another SSRI. We present a case of an elderly patient who developed hyponatremia with sertraline and SIADH when rechallenged with fluoxetine.
