Question:
Overdose toxicity
Author: SuzukiAnswer:
Poisoning with antipsychotics other than thioridazine is not usually fatal, although the FDA has warned of an increased risk of death in elderly patients with dementia. Hypotension often responds to fluid replacement. Most neuroleptics lower the convulsive threshold and may cause seizures, which are usually managed with diazepam or phenytoin.
