Abstract
Synthetic mixed hallucinogen/stimulants combine the clinical manifestations of a conventional hallucinogen with those of a conventional stimulant. Intoxication may produce severe neuropsychiatric complications, including psychosis, delirium, and seizures. Clinical effects can last for several days, much longer than with conventional hallucinogens or stimulants. Treatment is supportive and symptomatic, as there is no specific antidote.
