A patient on t/t for psychiatric disorder takes an overdose of a drug, develops bradycardia, hypotension, decreased sweating and salivation. The likely drug is -: (A) Amitryptilline, (B) Lithium, (C) Selegiline, (D) Amphetamine
Answer is A. TCAs can cause postural hypotension → Amitriptyline has maximum propensity.
Decreased sweating & salivation are due to anticholinergic side effects.
