Status epilepticus due to tiagabine ingestion

Am J Ther. 2008 May-Jun;15(3):290-1. doi: 10.1097/MJT.0b013e31815b04d4.

Abstract

Tiagabine, in excess dosing scenarios, has been rarely documented to cause status epilepticus. We describe such a case that was not responsive to benzodiazepines, but only to propofol infusion.
