What is the diagnosis for Stimulant Intoxication?

A diagnosis of “stimulant intoxication” is based on the recent use of an amphetamine-type substance, cocaine, or another simulant while demonstrating the following:

• Significant problematic behavioral or psychological changes (e.g. euphoria or blunted emotions, changes in sociability, hypervigilance, interpersonal sensitivity, anxiety, tension or anger, impaired judgment).
• Two or more of the following symptoms:
  • Rapid heartbeat or slower than normal heart rate
  • Pupillary dilation
  • Elevated or lowered blood pressure
  • Perspiration or chills
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Weight loss
  • Psychomotor agitation or retardation
  • Muscular weakness, respirator depression, chest pain, or cardia arrhythmias
  • Confusion, seizures, coma, involuntary movements/muscle contractions

The symptoms are not attributable to another medical condition or mental disorder, including intoxication with another substance.
