Brief Answer:
Please take him to the hospital immediately

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Please take him to the poison center or to the emergency room in order to his vital signs (breathing and heart rate) and in order to recieve activated charcoal and Ig fluids. Chlorpromazine over dose could be life threatening and requires medical intervention as soon as possible.

I hope you find this helpful.
