Sibutramine is a prohibited weight-reducing agent used in many weight-loss
products, which has been banned in many countries since 2010 including
Malaysia due to it toxicities and mortality effect. The widespread use of these
sibutramine-containing products has raised concerns regarding their side
effects, which include psychological symptoms. In this case report, we
highlight a case of psychosis induced by the use of this product. We present a
case of 36-year-old Burmese lady who has three admissions to psychiatry
ward with psychotic presentation after on-going consumption of weight-loss
