Uveal Effusion and Exudative Macular Detachment Secondary to SSRI and Dexamphetamine Overdose

Key Points

The aim was to examine the relationship between SSRI and dexamphetamine overdose and retinal complications.
Reported a case of overdose with SSRIs and amphetamine-based stimulants.
Monitored the development of retinal detachment and effusion.
Documented resolution after stopping the medications.
Polypharmacy led to uveal effusion and exudative retinal detachment.
Retinal detachment and choroidal effusion resolved post discontinuation of the medication.

Abstract

Overdose of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) has been associated with uveal effusion syndrome, and amphetamine-based stimulant use has been implicated in the development of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). In this case, polypharmacy and overdose were associated with unilateral exudative retinal detachment and choroidal effusion, which resolved after discontinuing the offending agents.
