Toxicities associated with NBOMe ingestion-a novel class of potent hallucinogens: a review of the literature.
Psychosomatics January 1, 2015 Joji Suzuki, Michael A Dekker, Erin S Valenti et al.
A systematic review of 20 patients with confirmed NBOMe ingestion found that these synthetic hallucinogens cause severe toxicity. 25I-NBOMe was the most common analogue. Fatalities occurred in 3 cases (15%). Common adverse effects included agitation (85%), tachycardia (85%), hypertension (65%), and seizures (40%). Many patients (40%) required intensive care unit admission. Laboratory abnormalities such as elevated creatinine kinase (45%) were frequent. Clinicians should suspect NBOMe ingestion in patients who recently used hallucinogens.
