A Creutzfeldt-Jakob like syndrome due to lithium toxicity. [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1988 Two patients with lithium toxicity presented with a neurological syndrome suggesting a diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. In both cases, the initial EEG was consistent with this diagnosis. Neither patient had permanent neurological sequelae and the EEG returned to normal.

Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease-like syndrome induced by gabapentin toxicity
Ageing Research, 2010 Patients with Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD) may exhibit characteristic abnormalities on the electroencephalogram (EEG). However, these abnormalities have been associated with a number of cases of drug toxicity. We report a case of CJD-like syndrome associated with gabapentin. A 78-year-old man was hospitalized for recurrent falls.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob-like syndrome induced by lithium, levomepromazine, and phenobarbitone [PDF]
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1999 Creutzfeldt-Jakob-like syndrome was first reported by Smith and Kocen1 in 1988. Its symptoms resemble Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease but it is induced by drugs, particularly lithium, and most patients recover without sequel after discontinuation of drugs. It also displays a characteristic EEG similar to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, but this returns to normal ...

Drug-induced Creutzfeldt-Jakob like syndrome.
Journal of psychiatry & neuroscience : JPN, 1992 A patient with progressive neurological deterioration characterized by cognitive impairment, myoclonus, Parkinson's syndrome, an abnormal electroencephalogram and fasciculations was considered for brain biopsy for suspected Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Complete clinical recovery followed discontinuation of lithium and nortriptyline.
