Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the first case of sertraline-induced diplopia. METHOD: Medline and PubMed data search using the words sertraline, Zoloft, diplopia, double vision. A case summary of a patient who developed diplopia from sertraline. RESULT: 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. CONCLUSION: 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.
