maprotiline and Epilepsy

maprotiline has been researched along with Epilepsy in 8 studies

Maprotiline: A bridged-ring tetracyclic antidepressant that is both mechanistically and functionally similar to the tricyclic antidepressants, including side effects associated with its use.

Epilepsy: A disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of paroxysmal brain dysfunction due to a sudden, disorderly, and excessive neuronal discharge. Epilepsy classification systems are generally based upon: (1) clinical features of the seizure episodes (e.g., motor seizure), (2) etiology (e.g., post-traumatic), (3) anatomic site of seizure origin (e.g., frontal lobe seizure), (4) tendency to spread to other structures in the brain, and (5) temporal patterns (e.g., nocturnal epilepsy). (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p313)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"On the average, seizures were observed at 40 mg/kg and were seen after desmethylimipramine (50 mg/kg), mianserin (30 mg/kg), amitriptyline (20 mg/kg), imipramine (40 mg/kg), maprotiline (40 mg/kg), and zimelidine (50 mg/kg)."1.27Comparison of the (pro)convulsive properties of fluvoxamine and clovoxamine with eight other antidepressants in an animal model. ( Bradford, D; Krijzer, F; Snelder, M, 1984)
"Amitriptyline was the most effective antidepressant, attenuating both seizure severity and afterdischarge duration."1.27Acute effects of antidepressants on hippocampal seizures. ( Clifford, DB; Hicks, FG; Rutherford, JL; Zorumski, CF, 1985)
