title: Seeing double: sertraline and diplopia: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the first case of sertraline-induced diplopia.
  
  
  METHODS
  Medline and PubMed data search using the words sertraline, Zoloft, diplopia, double vision. A case summary of a patient who developed diplopia from sertraline.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This case describes a 34-year-old man who developed diplopia after treatment with sertraline. The diplopia resolved after discontinuation of sertraline and redeveloped upon rechallenge.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Although incidences of diplopia caused by citalopram, another SSRI, have been described, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of sertraline-induced diplopia. More studies are needed to describe the full mechanism of action of sertraline-induced diplopia.
