    Author: Deveaugh-Geiss J, Pandurangi A.
    Journal: Am J Psychiatry; 1982 Sep; 139(9):1190-1. PubMed ID: 7114316.
    Abstract:
    Paranoid psychosis may result from intoxication with, or withdrawal from amphetamines. The authors describe two cases of paranoid confusional psychosis commencing 1 week after the patients' withdrawal from sympathomimetic amines. The pathophysiology for this unusual disorder may be agonist-induced dopamine receptor hypersensitivity.
