Prolonged unconsciousness in perampanel overdose.

Clinical experience of perampanel overdoses is markedly limited and the relevant literature is sparse. Perampanel is a novel antiepileptic drug (an amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazlepropionic acid glutamate receptor antagonist) with a long half-life, which is used for the adjunctive treatment of epilepsy. The literature available identifies a potential for prolonged unconsciousness in overdose.
