Term
Definition
show A steroid used in the treatment of edema and occasionally infantile spasms with no EEG effects known.  
🗑
show A depressant/sedative. Chronic use displays low voltage fast, lower amplitude, and decreased alpha while acute use displays diffuse slowing with increased delta and theta, and decreased alpha activity and frequency.  
🗑
Aldomet (Methyldopa)   show
🗑
Amoxicillin Trihydrate (Augmentin)   show
🗑
show An anti-inflammatory used as an analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory purposes. An overdose can produce diffuse slowing over anterior regions, occasionally in trains.

🗑
Aquachloral Supprettes (Chloral Hydrate)   show
🗑
Codeine   show
🗑
show An anticoagulant/prophylaxis used to treat thromboembilic disorders and recurrent MI. Therapeutic levels will display slowing of alpha and background while intoxication will display diffuse slowing, increased delta and theta, and decreased alpha.  
🗑
show A hypnotic/sedative used to treat insomnia that displays a marked increase in beta activity.  
🗑
Darvon (Propoxyphene HCL)   show
🗑

🗑
Demoral (Meperidine)   show
🗑
show An anticonvulsant used in simple and complex seizures, infantile spasms, and the prevention of migraine headaches. There is no consistent effect although has been known to display decrease epileptiform activity and seizure reduction.  
🗑
show An ergot alkaloid used to abort or prevent vascular headaches. No known EEG effects.  
🗑
Diamox (Acetazolamide)   show
🗑
show An anticonvulsant used in seizures, the prevention of seizures after neurosurgery/trauma, and ventricular arrhythmia, Therapeutic levels display mild slowing while toxic levels display diffuse delta.  
🗑
Elavil (Amitiptyline HCL)   show
🗑
Cafatine, Cafergot, Cardtrate, Ercaf, Ergomar, Wigraine, etc. (Ergotamine)   show
🗑
show An anticonvulsant used when others fail in the treatment of partial seizure w/without secondary generalization, children older than 2YO w/partial and generalized seizures associated w/Lennox-Gastaut. Effects have only been published in animal experiments.  
🗑
show A barbiturate analgesic used as an anti-inflammatory, sedative, antipyretic, or in the treatment of tension/muscle related headaches. Use will display increased beta, w/spread to posterior. High doses display intermixed fast and slow w/dissolution of alph  
🗑
show An anti-psychotic used to treat Tourette Syndrome manifestations, psychoses, tremors, hyperactivity, and Huntingtons Chorea. Use displays slow and fast paradoxical effects.

🗑
show An anticonvulsant used as an adjunct for partial seizures. Displays increases in interictal spiking in photoparoxysmal responses.  
🗑
show An anoxilytic used in sedation, to treat anxiety, and to manage alcohol withdrawal. Displays diffuse, low voltage frontal beta up to two weeks following treatment.  
🗑
Lithium   show

🗑
show An anticonvulsant used to treat partial seizures. No effects are seen on the EEG except computer-assisted spectral analysis.  
🗑
show An anticonvulsant used as the 2nd choice for absence seizures. No known EEG effects.  
🗑
