N2  - Administered carbamazepine (CB) to 3 groups of psychiatric patients (aged 17-55 yrs) over 2 wks. 10 received CB, while 10 received placebo. Symptoms (mostly psychotic) of agitation and disruptive behavior, loss of impulse control (e.g., aggressiveness, impulsivity, perversity, suicide attempts, orality, and pseudomania), and extrapyramidal symptoms in Ss with a premorbid active-ambivalent personality pattern, in the absence of clinical and EEG signs of epilepsy, indicated the use of CB. This drug allowed a reduction, sometimes marked, of high doses of neuroleptics, as well as of many indications for Li.
