Hyperprolactinemia can present with many physical symptoms such as galactorrhea, amenorrhea, infertility and osteoporosis and can also cause psychological problems like depression and anxiety. Hyperprolactinemia is mostly seen as a side effect of antipsychotic medications and rarely can also occur as a side effect of an SSRI. Hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea as adverse effects of escitalopram are rarely encountered. In this text we present a case, who developed hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea on the sixth day of treatment. The prolactin level decreased to normal after stopping the medication.
