Clonazepam is an anticonvulsant connected with high affinity to benzodiazepine receptors and effective through GABA (Gamma-aminobutyric acid) and serotonin. Poisoning related to Clonazepam is frequently encountered in the literature. However, cases described a hyperamylasemia have not been reported. In this case, we presented clonazepam overdose with suicidal intent of the 31-year-old female patient who developed hyperamylasemia and reviewed in the light of recent literature.
