    Author: Liukkonen J, Koponen HJ, Nousiainen U.
    Journal: Psychiatry Res; 1992 Nov; 44(2):107-12. PubMed ID: 1480676.
    Abstract:
    Clozapine is an atypical neuroleptic drug that has proved to be effective in alleviating psychotic symptoms refractory to treatment with standard neuroleptic drugs. In addition to hematological side effects, an increased susceptibility to epileptic seizures during clozapine treatment has previously been described. In this report, we describe the clinical picture and electroencephalographic findings of 12 schizophrenic patients who have had from one to six clozapine-associated epileptic convulsions.
