Objective: The aim of this paper is to describe a case of visual perseveration including palinopsia during maprotiline therapy. Method: A single case report. Results: The patient, a 56‐year‐old depressive man, suffered from visual perseveration during maprotiline therapy. The visual perseveration was dose‐related and disappeared with reduction and cessation of the therapy. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that maprotiline can induce visual perseveration including palinopsia in some patients.
