Midazolam in the treatment of catatonia: A case series
Midazolam may be an alternative or adjunctive therapy for the treatment of catatonia in circumstances where IV lorazepam is unavailable. More rigorous studies should be performed to more clearly elucidate the safety and effectiveness of midazolam as monotherapy and when used in combination with ECT early in the treatment of catatonia.
