  Post-hypoxic intention myoclonus treated with 5-hydroxy-tryptophan and an extracerebral decarboxylase inhibitor.

  Magnussen I, Dupont E, Engbaek F, de Fine Olivarius B.

  Acta Neurol Scand. 1978 Apr;57(4):289-94.

  Post-hypoxic intention myoclonus successfully treated by long-term administration of the combination of 5-hydroxytryptophan and carbidopa is described. Persistent euphoria and diarrhoea were essential side effects. Methysergide (12 mg/day) blocked the therapeutic effect, indicating a specific serotoninergic function of precursor loading with 5-hydroxytryptophan. Tryptophan (8 g/day) had no effect on the myoclonus suggesting a reduced tryptophan hydroxylase activity. Plasma concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptophan in the range of 10--30 micromoles per liter were obtained during maintenance therapy with 900 mg 5-hydroxytryptophan per day in combination with 150 mg carbidopa per day.
