Abstract
|
|
|
We present a case of 34-year-old female patient with major depressive disorder who had decreased metabolic activity of CYP2D6. Low dosage regimen of mirtazapine & paroxetine led to unexpectedly severe adverse effects and noncompliance in this case with genotype CYP2D6 ^*1/^*5. Antidepressant change to imipramine with consideration of the genotyping resulted with tolerable adverse effects and remission of depression. This case suggests the clinical usefulness of pharmacogenetic testing in individualized antidepressant treatments.
