We present the first documented case of overdose from xylazine inhalation. The patient developed findings consistent with alpha 2 adrenergic agonist toxicity, eg coma, miosis, apnea, bradycardia, hypothermia, and dry mouth 2 hours after exposure. Standard dose naloxone did not reverse these effects. The patient fully recovered after appropriate supportive measures. A review of prior reports of xylazine exposure is provided.
