nortriptyline and Seizures

nortriptyline has been researched along with Seizures in 8 studies

Nortriptyline: A metabolite of AMITRIPTYLINE that is also used as an antidepressive agent. Nortriptyline is used in major depression, dysthymia, and atypical depressions.
nortriptyline : An organic tricyclic compound that is 10,11-dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d][7]annulene substituted by a 3-(methylamino)propylidene group at position 5. It is an active metabolite of amitriptyline.

Seizures: Clinical or subclinical disturbances of cortical function due to a sudden, abnormal, excessive, and disorganized discharge of brain cells. Clinical manifestations include abnormal motor, sensory and psychic phenomena. Recurrent seizures are usually referred to as EPILEPSY or seizure disorder.

" The investigators studied a patient with a nortriptyline HCI level of 1,205 ng/mL who had four generalized grand mal seizures, each lasting between 60 and 90 seconds that were immediately followed by hypotension requiring norepinephrine support."7.69Recurrent hypotension immediately after seizures in nortriptyline overdose. ( Bell, A; Gaynor, B; Lipper, B, 1994)

( Bell, A; Gaynor, B; Lipper, B, 1994)
"Bupropion and tramadol were discontinued, and seizures did not recur."1.36Which xenobiotic(s) could be responsible for the radiologic findings below? Answer: any proconvulsant xenobiotic, in this case tramadol, bupropion, and nortriptyline. ( Roberts, DJ; Stellpflug, SJ, 2010)
" The actual dosing levels at the second treatment were compared with estimates based on HA."1.35Seizure threshold in a large sample: implications for stimulus dosing strategies in bilateral electroconvulsive therapy: a report from CORE.
