The impact of neuroleptic medication on seizure threshold and duration in electroconvulsive therapy.

Abstract

In the clinical use of olanzapine, clozopine and zuclopenthixol seems epileptogenic, whereas in the case of quetiapine seizure reducing properties must be taken into account. Together with the consideration of the accompanying somatic and neurologic disturbances and with the concomitant medications this can influence the treatment of choice.
