Three patients with seizures were admitted for video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring in the context of high-dose antidepressants and sodium valproate. Very high-dose antidepressants caused complex partial seizures with secondary generalisation that gave characteristic EEG discharges. This is the first reported series to capture the ictal EEG features associated with antidepressants. © 2013 The Authors Internal Medicine Journal © 2013 Royal Australasian College of Physicians. | DOI: | http://monash.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/imj.12239 | PubMed URL: | 24004394 [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=24004394] | ISSN: | 1444-0903 | URI: | https://repository.monashhealth.org/monashhealthjspui/handle/1/27674 | Type: | Article | Type of Clinical Study or Trial: | Case series or case report |
