Eslicarbazepine Overdosing in a Teenager: Case Description and Management.

Eslicarbazepine acetate has been recently licensed as an anti-epileptic medication to be used in adolescents. Data regarding dosing and overdosing are still limited in the literature. We describe a rare case of intentional eslicarbazepine overdosing in a previously healthy teenager who presented with neurological toxicity. Management of hyperhydration with diuretics, haloperidol, and midazolam proved to be helpful both in inducing rapid clearance through the kidneys and in managing symptoms of agitation, respectively.
