Prolonged psychosis attributed to phencyclidine: report of three cases
Abstract
After ingesting street drugs sold as "PCP," "THC," and "methadone," three young men developed schizophreniform psychoses, analgesia, anesthesia, and amnesia for the psychotic state. Except for their unusually long duration of 2 to 4 weeks, these reactions resembled phencyclidine psychoses. The authors are aware of other phencyclidine- related hospital admissions but could find no information on phencyclidine in recently published handbooks on drug abuse.
