Rational Management of Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures
Southern Medical Journal, 1978Phenytoin has traditionally been used for both prophylaxis and acute treatment of alcohol withdrawal seizures.

Withdrawal seizures in alcoholics. A transverse and longitudinal investigation
The Italian Journal of Neurological Sciences, 198374 heavy drinkers, divided in two groups by positive or negative history for withdrawal seizures, were evaluated on the history, clinical, biochemical, CT, EEG and psychometric investigations. Some of them have been followed up for 20 months. The results suggest the possible role of a constitutional predisposition for withdrawal seizures.

Alcoholism-Associated Hyperhomocysteinemia and Previous Withdrawal Seizures
Biological Psychiatry, 2005Higher homocysteine levels were found in actively drinking alcoholics as well as in early abstinent patients. Furthermore, it has been shown that high homocysteine levels predicted first-onset alcohol withdrawal seizures. The aim of the present study was to determine plasma homocysteine levels in actively drinking alcoholics and patients with early ...

Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2000
Background: Withdrawal Seizure‐Prone (WSP) and Withdrawal Seizure‐Resistant (WSR) mice were selectively bred for high and low handling‐induced convulsions, respectively, after chronic ethanol treatment. Withdrawal severity is one factor that may contribute to the development of alcoholism and/or substance abuse, and anxiety is another.

Prevention of Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures With Oral Diazepam Loading
Journal of Urology, 1985Twenty patients withdrawing from alcohol who had reliable histories of previous alcohol-withdrawal seizures and thus were at high risk for a subsequent seizure were treated in hospital with oral diazepam loading: 20 mg of the drug was given every hour to a minimum total of 60 mg. None of the patients had a seizure during the stay in hospital.

Prevention of alcohol withdrawal seizures with carbamazepine and valproic acid
Alcohol, 1989To evaluate the value of the nonsedative anticonvulsants carbamazepine and valproic acid a controlled study including drug monitoring was carried out. Intoxicated alcoholics (n = 138) were admitted for inpatient detoxication and randomly assigned to either carbamazepine (n = 43), sodium valproate (n = 46) or placebo (n = 49) in a double-blind fashion ...
