Carbamazepine in the treatment of catatonia

HW Rankel and LE Rankel
Department of Psychiatry, Wagner Jauregg Hospital, Linz, Austria.

Carbamazepine resolved within 6-24 hours the catatonic stupor in two patients, one with a schizophreniform and one with a schizoaffective disorder. Reports of frequent EEG abnormalities and the successful use of diazepam in catatonia prompted these trials with another anticonvulsant.
