Abstract

Hipnotik ajanlar, antidepresan ve antipsikotik ilaçlar uykusuzluk, depresyon ve psikotik bozuklukların tedavisinde yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu ajanlarla aşırı doz alımı giderek daha fazla bildirilmesine rağmen, şimdiye kadar alprazolam, sitalopram, risperidon, okskarbazepin ve alkol dahil olmak üzere birlikte alım vakası gösterilmemiştir. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bu ilaçların reçete kullanımı artmaya devam ettikçe, klinik toksisitelerini ve klinik yaklaşımlarını değerlendirmek gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, 20 yaşında intihar amaçlı alprazolam, sitalopram, risperidon, okskarbazepin ve alkol içeren ve destekleyici tedavi ile iyileşen aşırı doz olgusu sunulmuştur. Oda arkadaşı ve hastası tarafından bilinçlendiğinde yüksek dozda alprazolam (18 mg), sitolapram hidrobromur (80 mg), risperidon (16 mg), okskarbazepin (600 mg) ve alkol aldığı bildirildi. Standart detoksifikasyon prosedürleri ve destek tedavisi ile tedavi edildi.
