  • Title: [Severe hyponatremia, possibly due to inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, during use of the antidepressant fluoxetine].
    Author: ten Holt WL, Klaassen CH, Schrijver G.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 1994 Jun 04; 138(23):1181-3. PubMed ID: 8008142.
    Abstract:
    In a 78-year-old female with hyponatraemia, the syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion as a side effect of fluoxetine, a relatively new antidepressive drug, was tentatively diagnosed. In the literature 14 cases of this adverse reaction have been described. One should be careful when prescribing fluoxetine to elderly persons, notably when a diuretic is prescribed as well.
