摘要
The action of carbamazepine (CZP) is similar to that of lithium with regard to therapeutic effect towards mania; in addition, it has a certain effect towards endogenous depression. Furthermore, CZP has a prophylactic effect towards manic-depressive mood swings, although probably not as expressed as that of lithium. In some cases, especially in rapid-cyclers, neither CZP nor lithium have this effect when applied separately, whereas the combination of the two drugs is effective in some cases. A review of the relevant literature, as well as an illustrative case history, is presented. © 1990.
