Psychosis with use of amphetamine drugs, methylphenidate and atomoxetine in adolescent and adults

Conclusion
Our study suggests that amphetamine use is associated with a higher reporting of psychotic symptoms, compared with methylphenidate use.

Clinical implications
The prescription of psychostimulants should consider this potential adverse effect when assessing the benefit–risk balance.
