Lamotrigine is a drug used to treat epilepsy and bipolar disorder type I owing to its action as a mood stabilizer. We report a case of an autolytic attempt due to lamotrigine overdose which stands out both for the high dose administrated and the presence of severe rhabdomyolysis, in absence of seizures, which included creatine kinase levels much more elevated than those published to date due to overdose of this drug.

Keywords : Lamotrigine; intoxication; creatine kinase; rhabdomyolysis; bipolar disorder.
