Quetiapine (Seroquel) is a member of a new class of antipsychotic agents used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Its pharmacologic effect is primarily mediated via antagonistic binding to serotonergic (5HT2) and dopaminergic (D2) receptors. Presented is a case of acute quetiapine overdose in a patient with associated tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged
