| Abstract: | We report a case of concurrent ingestion of Clonazepam and Amlodipine in a 25‐year‐old man, in a second attempt to take his life, which resulted in unconsciousness, hypotension, and hypokalemia. The clinical and/or biochemical presentation varied from the individual pattern when ingested. In the scarcity of consensus recommendations, supportive treatment helped. |
