Physical examination revealed tachycardia with irregular heart rate, shallow respiration, decreased bowel sounds, dilated pupils, and hypertheimia. An ECG revealed a widened QRS complex with diffuse T wave changes. If this patient had taken a drug overdose the most likely causative agent was (A) Clozapine Fluoxetine Lithium Thioridazine Zolpidem... [Pg.578]

Many antipsychotics show great interindividual variation in plasma levels and so analysis of therapeutic levels can be important clinically as well as in the research laboratory. In addition, nonresponse to the drugs may actually be due to excessive levels of neuroleptics, a paradoxical situation that requires analysis to identify (Rockland, 1986). Several methods using FID were cited in the previous edition of the Handbook of Neurochemistry but ECD and NPD have both shown utility for the typically low therapeutic levels (Cooper, 1988). GC-FID has been used to analyze levels of clozapine in blood, gastric, and urine samples in fatal cases of overdose with this drug (Ferslew et al., 1998), and olanzapine has been measured in blood and urine samples by GC-NPD in overdoses (Stephens et al., 1998). 4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine, a metabolite of haloperidol, was analyzed in urine, plasma, brain, and liver from haloperidol-treated rats by GC-ECD, after derivatization with PFBC under aqueous conditions (Fang et al., 1996). [Pg.11]

Of 524 inquiries received by the National Poisons Information Service concerning new neuroleptic drugs over 9 months, only 45 cases involved overdose with a single agent (olanzapine, n — 10 clozapine, n — 8 risperidone, n — 10 sulpiride, n = 16) (503). There were no deaths or cases of convulsions. Cardiac dysrhythmias occurred only with sulpiride. Symptoms were most marked with clozapine most patients had agitation, dystonia, central nervous system depression, and tachycardia. Most of the patients who had taken risperidone were asymptomatic. [Pg.2472]
