N2  - We describe a young patient who ingested 18 g (240 times the daily therapeutic dose) of venlafaxine in a suicide attempt. She developed severe cardiomyopathy in a takotsubo distribution causing cardiogenic shock and multi-organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). She was successfully treated with intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), extracorporeal life support (ECLS) and CytoSorb®. This is remarkable as, to the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the highest amount of venlafaxine intake seen in the literature with a nonfatal outcome.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
