tachycardia induced by fluoxetine (Prozac)
overdose.
Neely JL.
Department of
Medicine, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center of West Virginia
University, Morgantown, USA.
Use of the serotonin uptake
antidepressants is growing. These agents are thought to be safer than
the tricyclic antidepressants, but clinicians should be aware that with
overdoses, seizure activity and cardiac dysrhythmias have been reported
in the medical literature. Physicians should be prepared to recognize
and manage these overdosages. An illustrative case and a review of the
literature are presented.
