Causes Overdosing on<unk> s can be caused by either drug combinations or excessive amounts of the drug itself. Venlafaxine is marginally more toxic in overdose than duloxetine or the SSRIs. Risk of overdose is increased in patients taking multiple serotonergic agents or interacting agents. Symptoms Symptoms of<unk>  overdose, whether it be a mixed drug interaction or the drug alone, vary in intensity and incidence based on the amount of medicine taken and the individuals sensitivity to<unk>  treatment. Possible symptoms may include: * Somnolence * Coma *<unk>  syndrome * Seizures * Syncope * Tachycardia * Hypotension * Hypertension * Hyperthermia * Vomiting Management Overdose is usually treated symptomatically, especially in the case of<unk>  syndrome, which requires treatment with cyproheptadine and temperature control based on the progression of the<unk>  toxicity. Patients are often monitored for vitals and airways cleared to ensure that they are receiving adequate levels of oxygen. Another option is to use activated carbon in the GI tract in order to absorb excess neurotransmitter. It is important to consider drug interactions when dealing with overdose patients, as separate symptoms can arise.
