Inositol has been given in cases of diabetes for possible therapeutic effects on peripheral neuropathy at doses of 20 g/day with no side effects (Arendrup et al. 1989]. Recently, newborns were treated with inositol 80 mg/kg with marked benefit in respiratory distress syndrome, and no side effects were reported [Hallman et al. 1992]. In addition to the above, 10 psychiatrically healthy volunteers were given 12 g of inositol in a single dose, and no side effects or mood effects were reported [Levine et al. 1994] 15 patients were treated for 5 days each with 6 g of inositol daily for electroconvulsive therapy-induced confusion, with no clinical effects and no side effects (Levine et al. 1995b] and 4 patients with Li -induced electroencephalographic [LEG] abnormalities were treated for 7 days with 6 g daily of inositol [Barak et al. 1994] with minimal EEG effects and no side effects.

The aldose reductase inhibitors inhibit or reduce secondary complications induced by diabetes, specifically in tissues in which glucose uptake is not insulin-dependent (probably neural tissue, the lens, and glomeruli). Many of them (including alrestatin, imirestat, ponalrestat, and sorbinil) have been used in clinical trials, but have been withdrawn because of adverse effects or lack of effect (2). Their main adverse effects include fever, nausea, diarrhea, increases in liver enzymes, skin rashes, including toxic epidermal necrolysis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome, marked thrombocytopenia, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and adult respiratory distress syndrome.

A 35-year-old woman with schizophrenia developed acute respiratory distress and laryngeal stridor (196). Neuroleptic drug-induced laryngeal dystonia was diagnosed. She was given biperiden lactate 10 mg intramuscularly and her symptoms resolved fully within 30 minutes. On the advice of a psychiatrist, and to sedate her for admission to a psychiatric hospital, her mother had secretly put 50 drops of haloperidol (10 mg/ml) in her food 1 hour before the symptoms appeared.
