Abstract
Clorapine is an atypical antipsychotic agent associated with a higher frequency of seizures than standard neuroleptics. In addition, clozapine causes epileptiform abnormalities in the EEG in up to 72% of patients. A patient who developed a generalized seizure shortly after beginning clozapine treatment and the patient's EEG findings are presented. The neuropharmacology of dozapine and the management of clozapine-induced seizures and EEG abnormalities are discussed.
