The authors present a case of seizure following fluoxetine overdose in a previously well 15-year-old female with a clear history of sole ingestion. The presence of other substances was ruled out with comprehensive drug screening. Increased serum levels of fluoxetine & its active metabolite were documented. Follow-up revealed that the patient sustained no further seizures or neurologic complaints. (20 refs.)
