Zyprexa Overdose

Although in most cases, a Zyprexa overdose is not life-threatening, the possibility does exist, and more than one person has died as the result of a Zyprexa overdose. For this reason, users of the drug and their loved ones should be aware of the symptoms of a Zyprexa overdose and know what to do in the case that one should occur.

The most common symptoms of a Zyprexa overdose include slurred or disrupted speech, agitation, drowsiness, irregular or rapid heartbeat, or stupor. A Zyprexa overdose victim may also experience difficulties breathing, changes in blood pressure, and excessive perspiration. More serious Zyprexa overdose signs include fever, muscle rigidity, cardiac arrest, convulsions, and coma.

If you suspect that a Zyprexa overdose has occurred, you should immediately contact medical professionals. The Poison Control Hotline may be able to help with a Zyprexa overdose, and studies have found that the ingestion of charcoal has been effective in counteracting the effects of a Zyprexa overdose.

Other complications associated with Zyprexa (such as development of diabetes and/or weight gain) usually receive more attention, but Zyprexa overdoses can be quite serious, although rare. If you or a loved one has suffered as the result of a Zyprexa overdose, you may be entitled to recover any lost funds associated with the overdose. This could include medical costs, lost wages, punitive damages, etc. Discussing the Zyprexa overdose with an attorney who has a familiarity with the drug can help you make important legal decisions about your future and that of your loved ones.
