We present a method of obtaining WKB-type solutions for generalized Schroedinger equations for which the Hamiltonian is an arbitrary matrix function of any number of pairs of canonical operators. Our solution reduces the problem to that of finding the matrix which diagonalizes the classical Hamiltonian and determining the scalar WKB wave functions for the diagonalized Hamiltonian's entries (presented explicitly in terms of classical quantities). If the classical Hamiltonian has degenerate eigenvalues, the solution contains a vector in the classically degenerate subspace. This vector satisfies a classical equation and is given explicitly in terms of the classical Hamiltonian as a Dyson series. As an example, we obtain, from the Dirac equation for an electron with anomalous magnetic moment, the relativistic spin-precession equation.
