KNOWN SYMPTOMS OF OVERDOSAGE AND PARTICULARS OF ITS TREATMENT:
A severe reaction is likely to occur when an overdose of Antabuse and alcohol is taken. Psychotic reactions, such as depressive psychosis (with suicidal tendencies), paranoia, paranoid schizophrenia, mania and Korsakoff's psychosis have been reported as well as a few fatalities. No specific treatment for severe Antabuse-alcohol reactions has yet been developed. The treatment of shock and electrolyte imbalance is most commonly used.
