Depending on how much you take, "death" is a possibility. Atropine is poisonous.
The side effects of atropine when taken in ordinary therapeutic doses include dryness of the mouth, blurred vision, photophobia, tachycardia, palpitation, dilated pupils, difficulty in swallowing, hot dry skin, thirst, dizziness, restlessness, tremor, fatigue and ataxia.
At higher doses, marked palpitation, restlessness and excitement, hallucinations, delirium and coma are possible, and in cases of severe atropine intoxication, blood pressure declines and death due to respiratory failure may ensue following paralysis and coma.
