Fluoxetine is an effective and safe agent frequently used in the treatment of childhood depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Urinary retention is defined as the inability to empty the bladder completely. Drug use is one of the most important factors in the etiology of urinary retention. Urinary retention is an uncommon side-effect of fluoxetine use. We report a case of chronic urinary retention during fluoxetine monotherapy in a 15-year-old girl, resolving following the discontinuation of treatment.
