Mixed intoxications dominated, especially combinations of benzodiazepines and alcohol. One patient died. Interpersonal conflicts were stated as the main reason for the self poisoning. Five patients were considered suicidal. 27 patients were followed up six months later. A majority considered both their social and mental situation to be better than at the time of the self poisoning episode, and had reduced consumption of alcohol and drugs.
