Side effects of antidepressants can cause delay in treatment of patient and ultimately non-compliance in patients who take this medicinal drug. Here we present a case of trazodone induced urinary incontinence in a woman at menopause period. The patient was a retired woman with 63 years old. She reported a history of bladder prolapsuse and history of consumption of quetiapine and propranolol. But the patient had no history of other somatic illnesses, drug and urinary incontinence before administering the medicinal drug. Psychiatrist prescrided trazodone with dose of 50 mg, orally per day when appearence of the depression, anxiety and insomnia. But, the patient suddenly suffered from urinary incontinence, despite this situation the patient had continued taking the drug for three days.

After the improvement of the urine incontinence and full recovery, re-treatment was began with the same dose of 50 mg trazodone for the patient, but immediately after drug administration to the patient, urinary incontinence appeared once again.
