What is Movement Disorders Associated With Stimulants and Other Drugs of Abuse about?

## Abstract Movement disorders including chorea, dystonia, tics, myoclonus, and parkinsonism are among the multiple acute and long-term complications of substance use disorders (SUD), including amphetamines, cathinones (“bath salts”), cocaine, opioids. Although not frequently reported, they might significantly affect the lives of people with SUD. For instance, chorea, tics, and stereotypies are hyperkinetic movements reported in people taking amphetamines. Symptoms usually manifest within the first hours of drug use, subsiding thereafter. In some patients, however, movement disorders can have a chronic course, persisting even after the end of amphetamine misuse. This chapter reports the diversity of movement disorders in SUD and their clinical implications, focusing on the manifestations outside the intoxication phase.
