Overdose of thioridazine causes CNS depression characterized by deep, unarousable sleep and possible coma, hypotension or hypertension, extrapyramidal symptoms, abnormal involuntary muscle movements, agitation, seizures arrhythmias, ECG changes, hypothermia or hyperthermia, and autonomic nervous system dysfunction.
