Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the behavioral and biochemical aspects of amphetamine psychosis. Amphetamine psychosis was characterized by a brisk emotional reaction, usually in the direction of anxiety amphetamine psychosis was rather strikingly similar to schizophrenia in its presentation; however, these two conditions could be differentiated by the presence of thought disorder that is prominent in schizophrenia and lacking in amphetamine psychosis The pharmacologic manipulation of dopaminergic mechanisms is almost certainly not without effect on other central nervous system systems and certain effects considered dopaminergic may indirectly be mediated by these other systems. Physostigmine can both block and abolish the stereotypy in rats induced by the administration of methylphenidate.

Amphetamine psychosis arising during the course of long-continued amphetamine addiction resembles paranoid schizophrenia andAuditory and visual hallucinations occur in a setting of clear consciousness and correct orientation.

244 Citations1973Frederick K. Goodwin, Robert M. Post +2 more
Probenecid inhibits the removal of 5-HIAA and HVA (the major metabolites of serotonin and dopamine) from the cerebrospinal fluid, which was studied in patients with affective illness in order to assess central amine function.

It is shown that locomotor hyperactivity, an animal model for the central stimulant effects of amphetamine, is mediated by brain norepinephrine, and hyperactivity of dopamine systems in the brain may be a factor in the pathophysiology of this condition.

Levels of both HVA and 5‐HIAA were approximately three times as high in human ventricular CSF as in human lumbar CSF and neurologic patients were significantly higher than those in psychiatric patients.

5-HTP completely blocked or significantly attenuated the emetic response produced by l-DOPA although there was no significant change in the blood pressure when compared with controls, and HMD and Ro 4-4062 completely blocked most of the behavioral effects, markedly attenuated emesis and prevented or reduced the hypertensive response, of l- DOPA.

The effects of administered amphetamine on behavior and on urine and cerebrospinal fluid levels of homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxy indoleacetic acid, 3-methoxy-4-Hydroxy-phenyl glycol, MHPG and vanillylmandelic acid are presented and discussed with regard to the findings of other investigators.

14 Citations1972Eitan Friedman, Samuel Gershon
The l-dopa elicited emission of seminal fluid is centrally mediated through serotonergic mechanisms and is antagonized by 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor blockers but not by α- and β-adrenergic receptor blockers, dopamine or cholinergic receptor blocker.
