TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Mephentermine dependence with psychosis. A case report JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Uday, G. J. A1 - Josh, U. G. A1 - Bhat, S. M. SP - 129 EP - 131 VL - 152 IS - N2 - Dependence on mephentermine, a widely used sympathomimetic pressor agent, is so far unreported, although misuse of inhalers is recognised. A case of mephentermine dependence associated with chronic psychosis is reported here. Psychosis initially surfaced with chronic dexamphetamine abuse, but was sustained for 3 years by mephentermine. After a period of remission lasting for 4 years, the patient again developed psychosis on restarting abuse of mephentermine, which lasted for 5 years.
