We report a clinical case of a patient with a manic episode after taking methylphenidate (up to 120mgr per day) and cannabis in order to improve performance during exam period. He was hospitalized for disorganized behaviour, increased aggresion, delusions, grandiosity. He was affected by attention deficit and hyperactivity during childhood and recent episods of subthreshold depression. The therapy consisted of benzodiazepine and hydratation. In conclusion clinicians shuould ha ve caution in prescribing neurostimulant in vulnerable subjects.
