Low-dose clozapine-related seizure: A case report and literature review.

Background: Treatment-resistant schizophrenia is a severe form of schizophrenia characterized by poor response to at least two antipsychotic drugs and is typically treated with clozapine. However, clozapine lowers the epileptic threshold, leading to seizures, which are severe side effects of antipsychotics that result in multiple complications. Clozapine-related seizures are generally considered to be dose-dependent and especially rare in the low-dose (150-300 mg/d) clozapine treated population.
