The approach described in this column considered: (1) the patient's diminished ability to clear CIMI and its major metabolite, desmethlyclomipramine due to a genetic deficiency in cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme activity, and (2) the patient's ability to extensively convert CIMI to desmethlyclomipramine.

A literature review of previous similar cases highlighting significant points is also included. A 48-year-old female presented to the emergency department with catatonic symptoms that had worsened over the previous 5 days. A similar condition was reported to have occurred and resolved spontaneously 3 months earlier. On examination, the patient appeared uncooperative and unresponsive. She showed typical symptoms of catatonia, with a score of 21 points on the Bush-Francis Catatonia Rating Scale. Routine tests were within normal ranges except for an elevated level of C-reactive protein and an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were all normal. An electroencephalogram showed diffuse delta-theta range slowing with no epileptiform discharges. Lorazepam was initiated but did not control the catatonic symptoms. Re-evaluation revealed thyroid swelling and elevated levels of thyroperoxidase antibodies. IV methylprednisolone was therefore initiated and produced complete resolution of the catatonic symptoms in 4 hours. The patient was discharged and prescribed prednisone 1 mg/kg daily. At follow-up, the patient continued to show complete resolution of the catatonic symptoms. It is noteworthy that the patient developed hypothyroidism 6 months after this catatonic episode for which levothyroxine 50 mcg/d was prescribed.
