Abstract

To the best of our knowledge, no case has been published in the literature that reports an overdose of tiapride, either alone or in combination with other drugs. We report a self-poisoning case in an 18-year-old girl, with approximately 10 times the usual daily dose (ie, 2.5 g). Although the blood concentration was 20/30-fold higher than usually observed after therapeutic drug intakes (17,300 mcg/L), the patient remained almost asymptomatic.
