Effect of Antidepressant Medication on Morning and Evening Thyroid Function Tests During a Major Depressive Episode

Abstract: The results suggest that (1) changes in thyroid function are related to clinical recovery rather than to a direct effect of the antidepressant drug and (2) patients with the lowest pretreatment evening thyrotropin secretion have the lowest rate of antidepressant response, and this may contribute to treatment resistance.

“…Our finding that higher TSH, but not FT 4 , is related to response, is in agreement with studies measuring evening TSH concentrations (6,28). Other studies measuring TSH in the morning did not find such a relation (8)(9)(10)(11)(12).…”

“…These changes may be of clinical significance, since they have been related to response by some (6,7) but not all authors (8). So far, the nature of a relation between thyroid function and response seems unclear; Duval et al (6) described higher evening TSH concentrations in treatment responders, while Sullivan et al (7) found that non-response was predicted by a high delta TSH in the TRH test.…”

“…Existem estudos 75,76 , demonstrando que o tratamento com antidepressivos reduz os níveis plasmáticos de T 4 , sendo que os pacientes responsivos ao tratamento apresentam uma redução mais pronunciada no T 4 livre e no T 4 plasmático do que os não responsivos. O efeito dos antidepressivos e provavelmente também o efeito profilático da carbamazepina envolvem um efeito anti-tireoideo, pelo fato de que, com o uso dessas drogas, o T 3 e T 4 diminuem e o TSH aumenta 77 . Este fato nos leva a pensar em um hipertireoidismo associado.…”

“…Como os quadros de depressão recorrente podem estar mais relacionados ao espectro bipolar, é interessante observar que a persistência do embotamento do TRH parece estar associada a um aumento nas recaídas 77 . Duval et al (1996) 75 encontrou que pacientes com as menores taxas de TSH basal, ∆máxTSH e ∆∆máxTSH tinham a mais baixa taxa de resposta ao tratamento baseado no uso de antidepressivo, necessitando de outra estratégia terapêutica, como a administração de hormônios da tireóide como terapia coadjuvante. 4.…”
