What would be the effect of sixteen 60MG pills of Prozac taken in an overdose attempt

Hard to say what exactly would have happened. Among 156 documented cases of overdose in pediatric patients (ages 3 mo. to 17 years), six resulted in fatalities, 127 made full recoveries, 1 experienced renal failure, & 22 had an unknown outcome. All six fatalities resulted from the combination of a mixture of drugs or alternate methods of suicide. The largest dosage was a full 3 grams (more than 3 times the 960mg ur cousin took), from which the patient made a full recovery.

However, were ur cousin not to have made it to the ER in time, known sequelae (continuing adverse effects resulting from the overdose) include 'abnormal accommodation, abnormal gait, confusion, unresponsiveness, nervousness, pulmonary dysfunction, vertigo, tremor, elevated blood pressure, impotence, movement disorder, & hypomania.'

Not to mention the fact that as fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac) is a SSRI (a drug that affects the neurotransmitter Serotonin, 90% of which is based in the digestive system), she would have (and may have) had one nasty set of stomach problems.

I am sure you know EXACTLY what would have happened. Think about it!

Whew--960mgs of Prozac. that could have killed her. I really hope the Doctors kept her for an evaluation because that is a serious suicide attempt.

Stop it..
