@thehospitaldoc: Hyponatremia can have many causes but medications is a common cause and good place to look into no other obvious causes of low sodium levels are found.

If hyponatremia is caused by SSRI would you stop that medication and if so what would you watch for?

Fun fact - we actually worry more about HYPERnatremia with large volume loop diuresis. Loops will eventually hit a ceiling and start dumping free water. In the ICU, we typically ADD a thiazide (like metolazone) so we don’t have to retroactively correct a free water deficit.

Funny HCTZ story. Had a patient that did have hyponatremia and after discussion we dcd her HCTZ. She was a teacher and loved pickles, in fact, loved them so much that students and teachers both brought her pickles all the time and called her the Pickle lady. After the HCTZ was discontinued, she lost her taste for them entirely. She was so amazed.
