A 53-year-old male, without any prior history of psychosis, developed schizophrenia 4 days after starting low-dose bromocriptine therapy for a macroprolactinoma. Five days after discontinuation of this medication his mental status returned to normal. This case is reported in support of the dopamine hypothesis for the etiology of schizophrenia.
