Abstract

Three cases of an acute choreoathetoid disorder that developed after the use of an amphetamine-like drug are reported. Because of the dramatic improvement in symptoms over a few hours in these cases, we recommend observation, supportive care, and the careful oral administration of activated charcoal.
