The treatment for an Anafranil overdose will vary. If the Anafranil overdose was recent, the healthcare provider may use certain medicines or place a tube into the stomach to "pump the stomach." Treatment may also involve supportive care. This type of care consists of treating the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose. For example, supportive treatment options for an Anafranil overdose may include:
Fluids through an intravenous line (IV)
Medicines to increase blood pressure, control an irregular heart rhythm, or control seizures
Close monitoring of the heart and lungs
A breathing tube to help with breathing
Other treatments based on the complications that occur.
It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Anafranil.
