Abstract

Under antidepressive treatment with amitryptiline (100 mg/d) a 71-year old woman developed delirious symptoms, hyponatremia and a grand mal seizure followed by cardiovascular arrest. A few month later she ingested 48 mg reboxetine with suicidal intent. Overdosing of reboxetine, a selective noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor, proceeded without complications.
