An 11-month-old male infant with recurrent supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) was treated with oral verapamil. Shortly thereafter he developed marked changes in behavior including lethargy, intensely increased thirst and urination, and irritability when denied fluids. "Primary" polydipsia was diagnosed following an evaluation which showed no evidence of adrenal insufficiency, diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, hypercalcemia, hyperosmolality, or renal disease. The symptoms resolved 1 week after verapamil was discontinued.
