摘要
Low-dose bromocriptine administered for antipsychotic drug-induced hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea precipitated an acute psychotic state in a female patient. Discontinuation of the bromocriptine and increase in antipsychotic dosage resulted in complete remission. We advise caution in the use of bromocriptine especially in patients with a pre-existing psychiatric history and recommend monitoring for changes in mental status when bromocriptine is prescribed.
