Endocrine and reproductive side effects of serotonergic antidepressants are uncommon and galactorrhea is only rarely mentioned among SSRI-related side effects. Perhaps through suppression of dopamine neurotransmission releasing prolactin from tonic inhibitor control of dopamine, serotonin-enhancing antidepressants may result in a rise in prolactin levels. However, we here describe a case of euprolactinemic galactorrhea induced by the SSRI escitalopram and discuss potential mechanisms of action.
血清素能抗抑郁药的内分泌和生殖副作用并不常见,在与选择性5-羟色胺再摄取抑制剂(SSRI)相关的副作用中,溢乳现象只是很少被提及。血清素增强型抗抑郁药可能通过抑制多巴胺神经传递,使催乳素从多巴胺的紧张性抑制控制中释放出来,从而导致催乳素水平升高。然而,我们在此描述了一例由SSRI艾司西酞普兰诱发的正常催乳素血症性溢乳病例,并探讨了其潜在的作用机制。
