T43: Poisoning by psychotropic drugs, not elsewhere classified
T43.4: Poisoning: Butyrophenone and thioxanthene neuroleptics
Antipsychotics are drugs used with certain mental illnesses. Such mental illnesses can be disorders with delusions or hallucinations, for experience. Antipsychotics can also have a tranquilizing effect. So they can also be used for conditions involving agitation.
A drug can cause poisoning if, for example, too much of it is taken. The drug may also be administered or taken by mistake.
Poisoning by antipsychotics can cause various symptoms. The symptoms depend on precisely which drug caused the poisoning. You may become drowsy or even pass out, for example. Your perception and thoughts may be impaired. The heart may beat too quickly or irregularly. It may no longer be possible to control one’s movements properly.
