Stimulant Intoxication

It is worth keeping in mind when it is an emergency: stimulant intoxication occurs when the body receives an excessive amount of substances that speed up the nervous system, and it can put health at risk. It is a condition that may require immediate attention.

Common symptoms: agitation, intense anxiety, a fast heartbeat, sweating, tremors, elevated temperature, and, in severe cases, confusion or altered states of consciousness.

When to seek care? With intense signs such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, seizures, or disorientation, it is an emergency.

Which professionals are involved? The emergency physician treats the acute phase, while the psychologist and the neuropsychologist can support the follow-up afterward. When stimulant intoxication is suspected, seeking medical help without delay is the most important thing.
