Methysergide as a Treatment for Mania
Abstract
Reports of dramatically successful treatment of acute mania with methysergide led the authors to undertake a small study. Twelve patients with acute mania were treated with doses of methysergide that had been reported to be effective. Only one patient recovered; all the others required further therapy. Possible reasons for the failure of methysergide to terminate the manic episode are discussed.
