Administered doses of CBZ, CPZ, VPA, quetiapine, and mianserin are presented in mg/day. Aside from these drugs, haloperidol (<3 mg/day) or risperidone (<3 mg/day) were used to treat psychomotor excitement with delusional thoughts during the entire course of treatment. Serum concentrations of CBZ and VPA at the indicated time points (arrows) are given in µg/mL. The ratio of eosinophils in the white blood cells is presented as a percentage, and the levels of γ-GTP and ALP are presented in U/L. The normal ranges for each parameter and the therapeutic effective serum concentrations of the drugs are indicated in parentheses.
