We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who attempted suicide by oral ingestion of potentially fatal doses of multiple drugs including quetiapine. Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) was administered at a dose higher than that used in the standard management of toxicity. ⋯ No adverse effect of lipid administration was observed. ILE treatment seems to have great potential in the management of lipophilic drug toxicity in the future.
