BOF: 2.50
A 40 year old female who is know to be depressed has
recently been started on citalopram as she had shown no response to the
dosulepin that she had been taking earlier.
She presents with a history of diarrhoea and she is found
to be febrile, tremulous, tachycardic, hypertensive, confused and agitated.
This state is likely to be due to:
a)
Co-existent phaeochromocytoma
b)
Concomitant use of alcohol
c)
Combination of dosulepin and citalopram
d)
Sudden withdrawal of treatment
e)
Thyrotoxic crisis precipitated by the drugs
