Özet: Galactorrhea is defined as non-puerperal lactation and frequently occurs as an adverse drug reaction due to typical antipsychotics. Furthermore, antidepressants, especially SSRIs, cause galactorrhea since the introduction of imipramine to psychiatry practice. Although galactorrhea usually accompanies increased prolactin levels, in some cases prolactin levels could be within the normal range. To date there are two case reports of normoprolactinemic galactorrhea due to sertraline and here we report a patient who developed normoprolactinemic galactorrhea 1 month after initiating sertraline 50 mg/day.
