Sertraline-induced panic attack.
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are the treatment of choice for depression and anxiety disorders due to its tolerability, safety and side effects profile. However, with the current and frequent use of these medications in patients with these disorders, new side effects have been reported. This case report describes the development of panic attacks in a 24-year-old-female patient with depressive and anxiety symptoms, and no previous predisposing history for panic attacks.
