Abstract

A 72-year-old woman attempted suicide with thioridazine 3000 mg and 60 tablets of acetaminophen 325 mg plus codeine 30 mg. She was semicomatose and had persistent third-degree atrioventricular block, progressive hypotension, and an episode of torsade de pointes. Heart block, arrhythmias, and hypotension resolved within 48 hours, and the patient recovered without adverse sequelae.
