Cataplexy Understanding

Cataplexy: Overview

Cataplexy is characterized by transient episodes of voluntary muscle weakness precipitated by intense emotion. The sudden onset of muscle weakness characterizes cataplexy. Such episodes are transient, lasting seconds to minutes, and get precipitated by intense emotions. Cataplectic attacks are more frequently incited by positive emotions (i.e., laughter, excitement, etc.) than negative emotions (i.e., anger, fear, frustration, etc.), with laughter being the most common precipitant. It is the complete or partial paralysis of voluntary muscles that is responsible for the weakness associated with cataplexy; however, it bears noting that the muscles of eye movement and respiration get spared during these attacks. The suppression of serotonergic and noradrenergic neuronal circuits permit the complete or partial paralysis of voluntary muscles.

Symptoms
The symptoms of Cataplexy include:
  • Dropping eyelids
  • Jaw dropping
  • Head falling to the side due to neck muscle weakness
  • Whole body falling to the ground
  • Various muscles around your body twitching without an obvious cause
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of cataplexy is carried out by studying sleep (polysomnogram), which records the muscles and brain involved in sleeping. Multiple sleep latency test examines short naps throughout the day to study how quicky the patient’s falls asleep during the spacing of naps.

Treatment
The following pharmacologic agents are considered first-line in the management of cataplexy: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (fluoxetine 10 to 80 mg by mouth daily every morning), norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (atomoxetine 40 to 80 mg by mouth daily every morning), serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (venlafaxine extended-release 37.5 to 150 mg by mouth once daily every morning), and tricyclic antidepressants (clomipramine 10 to 150 mg by mouth daily every morning). Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) have fallen out of favor for the treatment of cataplexy due to their anticholinergic side effects (i.e., delirium, dry mucous membranes, hyperthermia, ileus, mydriasis, tachycardia, and urinary retention). Sodium oxybate, the sodium salt of gamma-hydroxybutyrate has recently got approval from FDA for the treatment of Cataplexy.
