Abstract

Intoxication results in a mixture of hallucinogenic and stimulant signs and symptoms, including anxiety, depression, paranoia, hallucinations, agitation, confusion, nausea, abdominal discomfort, tachycardia, hypertension, muscle clonus, and pupillary dilation. Life-threatening medical complications include excited delirium, seizures, hyperthermia, and pulmonary edema. Toxic serotonergic syndrome may result from combining with a serotonergic agent.
