TY - JOUR PY - 1993// TI - Other agents. Phencyclidine, marijuana, hallucinogens, inhalants, and anticholinergics JO - Neurologic clinics A1 - Brust, J. C. SP - 555 EP - 561 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - Acute phencyclidine intoxication causes psychosis and a myriad of other symptoms and signs, some life-threatening. Anticholinergic poisoning is also a medical emergency, often requiring an intensive care unit. Marijuana and hallucinogens have rarely, if ever, resulted in direct overdose death, but intoxication can result in accidents or self-injury. Inhalants cause death from cardiac arrhythmia, suffocation, or accident. Each of these agents is associated with a variety of medical and neurologic complications, some of which are discussed at greater length elsewhere in this issue.
