Patrick T. Donlon, MD; Joe P. Tupin, MD

Arch Gen Psychiatry. 1977;34(8):955-957.

Abstract
• Five cases of successful suicides from thioridazine and mesoridazine occurred. The clinical course and management are outlined. A sixth case of reversible total heart block associated with thioridazine is presented giving further evidence that the deaths from overdose probably resulted from drug cardiotoxicity.
