Abstract
Eleven patients had neurologic symptoms after taking “look-alike” pills thought to contain amphetamines but actually containing phenylpropanolamine. Phenylpropanolamine, a nonregulated drug, is structurally and functionally similar to amphetamines. Acute onset of headache, psychiatric symptoms, or seizures in young patients may be due to phenylpropanolamine use.Keywords
