Also known as
Toxic effect of tianeptine
Poisoning by tianeptine, accidental or intentional.
Toxic effect of other antidepressants
Poisoning by antidepressants, excluding MAOIs, TCAs, and SSRIs.
Adverse effect of other drugs
Adverse effect of unspecified drug, accidental or intentional.
Somnolence, stupor, and coma
Describes states of reduced consciousness that may result from tianeptine overdose.
Follow this step-by-step guide to choose the correct ICD-10 code.
Is the tianeptine ingestion intentional?
When to use each related code
| Description |
|---|
| Tianeptine poisoning |
| Serotonin syndrome |
| Opioid withdrawal |
Coding accidental vs. intentional tianeptine ingestion requires careful documentation review for accurate poisoning code assignment (T46.5X1A).
Documentation may lack details of other substances ingested with tianeptine, impacting combination code selection and severity (T46.5X1A, T36-T50).
Failure to capture tianeptine-induced complications like serotonin syndrome or withdrawal (T46.5X1A with appropriate sequelae codes) impacts reimbursement and quality metrics.
Patient presents with suspected toxic ingestion of tianeptine. Presenting symptoms include [Document specific symptoms observed e.g., agitation, tachycardia, hypertension, seizures, altered mental status, myoclonus, hyperthermia, respiratory depression, coma]. Onset of symptoms occurred approximately [timeframe] after reported ingestion of [estimated amount] of tianeptine [specify form, e.g., tablets, sodium]. Patient reports [Patient's history of tianeptine use including dosage, frequency, duration, reason for use, and source]. Past medical history includes [Document relevant past medical conditions e.g., depression, anxiety, opioid use disorder, prior overdose]. Medications include [List all current medications]. Allergies include [Document all allergies]. Physical exam reveals [Document vital signs heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, temperature, oxygen saturation and pertinent physical findings e.g., pupil size and reactivity, tremors, muscle rigidity]. Differential diagnosis includes serotonin syndrome, opioid withdrawal, anticholinergic toxicity, sympathomimetic toxidrome. Initial laboratory studies ordered include [List labs e.g., complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, serum creatinine, creatine kinase, urine toxicology screen]. Tianeptine toxicity diagnosis is supported by clinical presentation, history of ingestion, and exclusion of other potential causes. Treatment initiated includes [Document treatment provided e.g., supportive care, IV fluids, benzodiazepines for agitation or seizures, intubation for airway protection, activated charcoal if appropriate based on time since ingestion]. Patient is currently [Patient's current status e.g., stable, improving, deteriorating] and will be [Plan of care e.g., admitted for observation, transferred to ICU, discharged home]. The case will be further evaluated for potential opioid withdrawal symptoms given tianeptine's opioid receptor activity. ICD-10 code T43.3X5A (Tianeptine poisoning) is documented for this encounter. This documentation supports medical necessity for provided services and reflects current clinical guidelines for tianeptine overdose management.
