In recent years, increasing numbers of conflicting reports (to be commented on in the section devoted to a review of the literature) have appeared in the world literature regarding the effect of chlorpromazine on epilepsy and on the seizure activity seen in the electroencephalographic tracings of epileptic patients. These have ranged, with regard to epilepsy, from one extreme position in which the drug is advocated as a therapeutically efficacious method of treatment, to the other extreme in which it is held accountable for having precipitated epileptic seizures in patients with no previous history of similar distrubance who are undergoing treatment for an unrelated illness.
