Abstract
Recreational drug use has shifted from primarily illicit substances to an increasing number of prescription medications. Neurologic complications of these substances include disorders of the central and peripheral nervous system and range from mild agitation, as is seen in some patients when intoxicated with methamphetamines, to life-threatening intracerebral hemorrhage from cocaine intoxication or the toxic leukoencephalopathy resulting from inhaled vaporized opiates. In addition, there is increasing recognition that chronic abuse of some of these substances can lead to long-term neurologic and psychiatric sequelae. New substances are constantly emerging and clinicians need to stay up-to-date and vigilant regarding their neurologic manifestations.
