We report the case of an adolescent, 15-year-old woman, who ingested 4.0 g of amantadine in a suicide attempt 2 hours before admission. She developed central nervous system symptoms including confusion and psychomotor agitation. The main cardiovascular symptoms were due to disturbances in atrioventricular conduction and propagation of stimuli in sinus node. All cardiovascular symptoms disappearanced after 12 hours of admission, CNS symptoms were observed 48 hours. No other systems were involved. She was discharged in a good state on day 5th.
