Abstract

The response to and management of an acute ingestion of a large quantity of fluoxetine hydrochloride in a 13-year-old boy with Tourette's syndrome and obsessive compulsive disorder is described. The patient's symptomatic course following the ingestion included a grand mal seizure, depressed ST segments on EKG, nausea, dizziness, and headache. In general, the fluoxetine was well tolerated: all of the symptoms and signs remitted spontaneously.
