Pediatric Methamphetamine Toxicity: Clinical Manifestations and Therapeutic Use of Antipsychotics-One Institution's Experience.

CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric patients with methamphetamine toxicity commonly manifest sympathomimetic signs. Antipsychotics were often used as an adjunct treatment in this cohort of patients, and no adverse events were reported. Clinicians should be aware of prominent gastrointestinal signs and abnormal motor activity and neurologic manifestations unique to pediatric patients that will assist in making the correct diagnosis in cases of suspected methamphetamine toxicity.
