Overdose of risperidone.
Risperidone is an investigational antipsychotic agent currently being tested in an international multicenter drug trial. We report the first case of a risperidone overdose in an apparent suicide attempt. This was without serious clinical side effects and manifested mainly as ECG abnormalities.
