Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

Catatonia has a wide range of psychiatric and organic causes. It has been less commonly associated with withdrawal of clozapine. The authors describe the case of a male with paranoid schizophrenia presenting with catatonia following abrupt cessation of clozapine, which showed little improvement with benzodiazepines or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
