What happens when you OD on olanzapine?
I live alone, so not likely to be found within 24 hours.
Besides hanging it seems my only option.
Also have some nortryptiline and queatiapine I can mix with.

Any advise?

I took 2240mg of olanzapine, 30mg of xanax and 210mg of zopiclone in February 2024.
I was found in a coma about 25 hours later, I had vomited a little and then inhaled vomit so I had pneumonia on top of that.
I remained in a coma for 8 days, and I survived without any particular after-effects, but according to the doctors I was extremely lucky, they considered me a miracle.

respiratory arrest which refers to a medical condition where breathing stops. If left untreated, it can lead to a lack of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs, potentially resulting in brain damage or death.

Thanks for the reply. Not opting for brain damage though…
