Abstract
Fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is an efficacious medication in social anxiety disorder with a generally well-tolerated adverse effect profile. However, infrequent side effects may occur during treatment. Here, we report a case of systemic hypertension in a 12-year-old female patient with social anxiety disorder receiving fluoxetine treatment. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of fluoxetine-induced systemic hypertension in children and adolescences.
