There are no antidotes available for the treatment of SSRI toxicosis. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, including induction of emesis (in asymptomatic animals), gastric lavage, activated charcoal with a cathartic (in animals without diarrhoea) (Table 4.1), antiarrythmic agents, skeletal muscle relaxants, AEMs (see Table 4.1 and Chapters 12 and 24) and supportive care. In animals with severe clinical signs, serotonin receptor antagonists such as cyproheptadine at 1.1 mg/ kg PO in dogs and 2.4 mg per cat PO can be administered. The medication can be crushed, mixed with saline and administered rectally to animals unable to take oral medications (Albretsen, 2002).
