Abstrakt:	Background and Aims: Antipsychotic drugs are critical in managing psychosis but they also carry risks when misused, leading to toxicity. Case Presentation: A patient overdosed on olanzapine, resulting in anticholinergic toxidrome with symptoms like tachycardia and altered mental status. Immediate recognition and management of antipsychotic toxicity-induced toxidromes in emergency settings are crucial. Treatment strategy includes maintaining airway, breathing and circulation along with decontamination. There is no specific antidote. Conclusion: This case underscores the need for emergency physicians to remain vigilant and proactive in identifying and addressing such toxicity by identification of toxidromes to prevent complications and missed diagnosis in emergency department.
