A patient was brought to emergency room last week after taking 21 pills, condition was too bad, intubated and all measures to save was done. Such patient was luckily saved, lucky enough as she was rushed to emergency room at about 15 minutes after taking the pills. So the doctors advise on the dosing should be strictly adhered. It is not a game trying to take either a handful or just a few.

Cipralex (or as it is known in US, Lexapro) is an antidepressant. If you are taking this medication and you are having suicidal thoughts, you should immediately contact your doctor.
Here is the list of the symptoms of overdose from http://www.rcplive.ac/therapies/depression/cipralex.asp

Overdosage: Doses of 190 mg of escitalopram have been taken without any serious symptoms being reported. Symptoms of overdose with racemic citalopram (>600 mg): Dizziness, tremor, agitation, somnolence, unconsciousness, seizures, tachycardia, changes in the ECG with ST-T changes, broadening of the QRS complex, prolonged QT interval, arrhythmia, respiratory depression, vomiting, rhabdomyolosis, metabolic acidosis, hypokalaemia. It is anticipated that overdoses with escitalopram would result in similar symptoms.There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive with monitoring of cardiac and vital signs. Early gastric lavage suggested.
