Letter to the Editor

Sir: We report a case of reversible neurotoxicity possibly induced
by an increase in the dose of nefazodone.

Case report. Mr. A, a 43-year-old man with schizoaffective
disorder, presented with complaints of paranoid ideation, auditory
hallucinations, and suicidal ideation. One week prior to admission,
he had discontinued his regularly prescribed medications,

and carbamazepine.
