Use of carbamazepine in psychosis after neuroleptic malignant syndrome.
A case is described of NMS during treatment with sulpiride. The subsequent psychosis resolved during treatment with carbamazepine. It is proposed that this patient may have suffered from a supersensitivity psychosis, and that resolution of her post-NMS psychosis could have been spontaneous.
