Abstract
Specific inhibitors of 5-HT reuptake are reported to have lower proconvulsive activity than other antidepressants. A patient with post-traumatic epilepsy who had remained fit-free for many years until she was given the 5-HT reuptake inhibitor fluvoxamine is reported. Changes in serotonergic function may play a more widespread role in the pathophysiology of seizure disorders than hitherto thought.
