Abstract

As new antidepressants have been marketed, the issue of drug-induced seizures has assumed new relevance. The risk of such seizures depends on at least three critical factors. Of most importance are an individual's predisposing factors that may increase the risk, followed by the amount and rate of dosage titration, and the relative epileptogenic potential of the particular drug.
