Abstract
Carbamazepine, a tricyclic anticonvulsant effective in the treatment of major affective disorder, has been observed to induce cortisol non-suppression following dexamethasone administration. The mechanism of this effect has not been clearly established. In this study, the authors report carbamazepine-induced elevations of mean urinary free cortisol in patients with affective illness. The theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.Entities:
