  • Title: Hallucinations after withdrawal of valproic acid.
    Author: de Laat SA, Hillegers MH, Jansen FE, Braun KP, de Graeff-Meeder ER.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 2012 Jul; 130(1):e236-8. PubMed ID: 22689876.
    Abstract:
    We report 2 children with a history of epilepsy in whom valproic acid (VPA) withdrawal was identified as a potential cause of hallucinations. After a restart of VPA, the hallucinations disappeared. We suggest mechanisms for the occurrence of the hallucinations and a possible control of a predisposition to hallucinations by VPA.
