Nasal Decongestants and Paranoid Psychosis

The majority of published cases of amphetamine psychosis have been cases of addiction or illicit drug taking, thereby making a good premorbid personality questionable and unlikely. Amphetamine psychoses and their association with delinquency was the subject of a paper by Scott and Willcox (1965).
