Amyl nitrite for Cyanide poisoning (if i recall correctly?)
Atropine (+Pralidoxine) for AChase Inhibitor poisoining or Organophosphate poisoning
Giovanni can you please elaborate on Atropine being an antidoe for Anti-parasitics???
Also for ACetyl-Cysteine, try to stick with drug names and not brand names!! It's for Acetaminophen.

Hmmm...
Hate to be the bearer of bad news everyone, but Benzo intoxication gives Respiratory depression. (http://www.emedicine.com/emerg/topic944.htm) This child's respiration is NORMAL though. So she couldn't have taken Benzo's.
Can anyone clarify this for me?
