TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - Massive gabapentin and presumptive quetiapine overdose JO - Veterinary and human toxicology A1 - Spiller, Henry A. A1 - Dunaway, Michael D. A1 - Cutino, Letizia SP - 243 EP - 244 VL - 44 IS - 4 N2 - Previous reports of gabapentin overdose have described mild symptoms of somnolence, ataxia and slurred speech. Quetiapine has produced a false positive for cyclic antidepressants on immunoassay drugscreens. Quetiapine overdose is associated with coma, QTc prolongation and hypotension. We report a case of massive gabapentin and presumptive quetiapine overdose with the highest recorded serum gabapentin concentration (104.5 u/ml) associated with coma, respiratory depression requiring mechanical ventilation, and hypotension.
