  • Title: Contemporary drugs of abuse.
    Author: Giannini AJ, Price WA, Giannini MC.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1986 Mar; 33(3):207-16. PubMed ID: 2869670.
    Abstract:
    The physician needs to know the signs, symptoms and recommended treatments of drug overdoses. Overdose of hallucinogens usually does not require drug therapy. Overdose of amphetamines ("uppers") may be complicated by the presence of PCP, a dissociative substance. It is important for the physician to be familiar with the street terminology for contemporary drugs of abuse and to be aware of how users obtain these drugs.
