N2  - Carbamazepine is regularly used in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Although exacerbation of psychosis has been described following abrupt discontinuation of carbamazepine in chronic schizophrenics, a withdrawal syndrome has not been reported previously in patients treated for trigeminal neuralgia. The case presented here suggests that abrupt withdrawal of toxic concentrations of carbamazepine may precipitate a withdrawal reaction, which is manifest some days after discontinuation of the drug. Therefore it may be advisable to withdraw therapy slowly in these situations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
