The Use of Levomepromazine, a.k.a. Methotrimeprazine, a.k.a. Nozinan, in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Abstract

Levomepromazine is rarely used in child and adolescent psychiatry. Four cases are described where extreme behavioural disturbance responded favourably and promptly to oral prescription. Two additional cases are described where ceasing levomepromazine led to early signs of what was probably tardive dyskinesia, resolving completely.
