Extended ‐release quetiapine overdose is associated with delayed onset of toxicity compared to immediate‐release quetiapine overdose

ConclusionXR quetiapine overdoses without sedating co ‐ingestants were associated with a doubling of time to peak sedation and pulse, and had longer recovery from sedation. The absence of sedation or tachycardia 12 h post‐overdose of XR quetiapine seems a reasonable timeframe to rule out significant poisoning.
