A case is reported in which unconsciousness and apnoea extending into the postoperative period were noted as a central anticholinergic syndrome caused by chlorprothixene. This compound was employed for preanaesthetic medication in usual clinical dosage. Physostigmine salicylate was effective in reversing the toxic side effects of chlorprothixene - an occasionally active central anticholinergic agent.
