It induces sedation, hypothermia, ptosis, and (in higher doses) catalepsy; it inhibits spontaneous motor activity, conditioned avoidance response, amphetamine toxicity and stereotypy.
It also attenuates haloperidol-induced catalepsy.
I kept him ten minutes in this state of catalepsy.
He has avoided reality through his catalepsy but also through his fantasies, visions, and obsession with death.
The characteristic features of dissociative anesthesia were described as catalepsy, amnesia and analgesia.
The level of catalepsy did not increase with chronic dosing, and there was no evidence for serotonin syndrome at clinically relevant doses.
