Paranoid psychosis induced by consumption of methylenedioxypyrovalerone: two cases

Joseph L Antonowicz et al. Gen Hosp Psychiatry. 2011 Nov-Dec.

Abstract

Of growing concern has been the phenomenon of psychoactive chemicals legally marketed as a variety of products such as "bath salts" or "herbal incense." There is little in the formal literature about actual adverse effects of such chemicals. We have two cases of a paranoid psychosis in individuals consuming methylenedioxypyrovalerone. A discussion of this chemical and its abuse follows.
