A series of thyroid function tests were performed on 84 randomly assigned psychiatric patients receiving chlorpromazine‐procyclidine, imipramine, or placebo, before and after treatment. The rate of uptake of 1s1 I and the 24 hour level of uptake of 1s1 I by the thyroid gland was increased by chlorpromazine‐procyclidine but not by imipramine. Renal clearance of 1s1 I was diminished by treatment with chlorpromazine‐procyclidine but not by imipramine. PBI, T 3 resin uptake, and ankle jerk were not significantly altered.
