title: Alprazolam overdose: clinical findings and serum concentrations in two cases.
abstract: Two patients who attempted suicide with alprazolam had markedly elevated serum concentrations but manifested only mild toxicity. Overdose with alprazolam appears much less likely to be life-threatening than overdose with the tricyclic antidepressants.
