Monoamine oxidase inhibitor overdose.

Described is the clinical course of a 26-year-old woman who died following an overdose of the MAO inhibitor phenelzine. Signs and symptoms of toxicity were delayed in onset. Initial findings of excessive neuromuscular activity were followed by severe hyperthermia, coma, cardiovascular collapse, acute renal failure, hemolysis, rhabdomyolysis, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A review of the literature suggests that these features are not unusual following MAO inhibitor overdosage. The pathophysiology and management of MAO inhibitor poisoning are discussed.

Acetaminophen overdose.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is the treatment of choice for acetaminophen overdose. With this therapy, morbidity from overdose can be held to a minimum. Mortality is rare in any case and virtually nonexistent in treated patients. Unless a high index of suspicion is maintained, the diagnosis may be missed until it is too late for effective antidotal treatment.

Cyclobenzaprine overdosage.

The clinical findings in three patients who ingested 260-900 mg cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) consisted of delayed onset and long duration of anticholinergic symptomatology. In two of these patients, symptoms responded to treatment with physostigmine. The third patient recovered without specific therapy. Despite its structural similarity to amitriptyline, cyclobenzaprine overdosage did not result in coma, seizures, or cardiac toxicity. The pharmacological properties of cyclobenzaprine may account for the observed toxicity.
