Two patients were hospitalized in moderately deep coma after ingestion of large doses of diazepam (500 and 2000 mg) with suicidal intent. Neither patient experienced important complications; both recovered fully and were discharged within 48 h. Concentrations of diazepam and its 3 pharmacologically active metabolites (desmethyldiazepam, temazepam and oxazepam) were determined in multiple samples drawn during and after hospitalization. High concentrations of all 4 compounds were present in early samples, then declined slowly during the next 1-2 wk. Rapid clinical recovery after diazepam overdose is not attributable to rapid elimination of active compounds from the body, but more likely to adaptation or tolerance to their depressant effects.
