Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant approved by the Food and Drug Adminis-tration for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. A 34-year-old female pa-tient with major depressive disorder developed amenorrhea and had a false-positive urine pregnancy test after ini-tiation of escitalopram treatment. To our knowledge, no published case report of amenorrhea and false-positive urine pregnancy tests in women taking escitalopram exists. This case report suggests that women of child-bearingage should be carefully monitored for amenorrhea while they are on an antidepressant treatment regimen.
Abstract
Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant approved by the Food and Drug Adminis-tration for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

To our knowledge, no published case report of amenorrhea and false-positive urine pregnancy tests in women taking escitalopram exists. This case report suggests that women of child-bearingage should be carefully monitored for amenorrhea while they are on an antidepressant treatment regimen.
