Abstract

We report on 2 patients with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) which developed a few weeks after they had started treatment with venlafaxine and paroxetine, respectively. Due to the temporal relationship and the exclusion of other potential causes, a causal relationship between the use of the antidepressants and SIADH seems likely. Diagnostic criteria for SIADH and the role of drugs, especially serotonin re-uptake inhibitors, are discussed.
