Q: What is the drug of choice to control cocaine induced seizures?


A: Diazepam and lorazepam.

Also, barbiturates, may be effective in controlling seizures because they may act synergistically with the benzodiazepines.

Important pearl to remember is: Phenytoin may not be effective against cocaine-induced seizures.
