Drug psychosis
Drug-induced psychosis is a neurological disorder that can be caused by certain medications. Symptoms of drug-induced psychosis may manifest differently, depending on the type of drug and its dosage. People taking these drugs may experience hallucinations, delusions, persecution, or paranoid ideation.
These symptoms can be very dangerous, especially for people who do not understand medicine and are unable to recognize the signs of drug poisoning. It is important to know the symptoms of drug-induced psychosis and be able to quickly diagnose and treat it.
One of the causes of drug-induced psychosis is the combination of drugs with alcohol and drugs. For example, some antibiotics, such as cephalosporins, penicillins and metronidazole, can increase the toxicity of alcohol and drugs, which in turn can cause hallucinations in users.
Also, do not forget that some drugs, such as antidepressants, antipsychotics and antipsychotics, can cause symptoms of psychosis if the dosage is incorrect or taken for a long time. The risk of developing such symptoms increases in older age. It is not uncommon for older people to experience hallucinations about their home, family, and health.
It is known that one of the most common causes of drug-induced psychosis is substance abuse. When treating this problem, a narcologist recommends changing your lifestyle and giving up drugs
