 Manifestation
 The symptoms of amphetamine psychosis include
auditory and visual hallucinations, delusions of
persecution, and delusions of reference concurrent
with both clear consciousness and prominent
extreme agitation.
 Typical symptoms of sufferers include paranoid
delusions that they are being followed and that
their drug use is being watched accompanied by
hallucinations that support the delusional beliefs.
Delusional parasitosis with formication ("cocaine
bugs") is also a fairly common symptom.
 Stimulant
 Stimulants are a type of drug that works on the
body’s central nervous system to produce
enhanced brain activity. Various types of
stimulants exist including those that are legal
and many that are considered illegal.
 People who use stimulants are usually looking
for improved alertness or function. According to
the National Institute on Drug Abuse, various
types of stimulants work to increase energy,
elevate the mood of the user, pump up the heart
rate and otherwise stimulate the user.

 Legal and Ilegal Stimulant
 The most common legal stimulants include:
◦ Amphetamines such as Dexedrine or
Dextroamphetamine
◦ Ephedrine
◦ Caffeine
◦ Nicotine
 Illegal stimulants :
◦ methamphetamine
◦ cocaine
◦ crack cocaine
◦ MDMA
 Therapy
 Treatment consists of supportive care during the
acute intoxication phase: maintaining hydration,
body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate at
acceptable levels until the drug is sufficiently
metabolized to allow vital signs to return to
baseline. Typical and atypical antipsychotics have
been shown to be helpful in the early stages of
treatment.[This is followed by abstinence from
psychostimulants supported with counseling or
medication designed to assist the individual
preventing a relapse and the resumption of a
psychotic state.
