Among these, only amphetamine is a stimulant drug. Stimulants intoxication usually characterize by mydriasis, high BP, high HR, and one way to detox is through activated charcoal. Pt may also experience paranoia which can be mistaken for schizophrenia. Another drug that has the same presentation is cocaine since they are both stimulants.

Barbiturate, benzo, and opioids characterized by respiration depression, miosis (for opioid). Marijuana intoxication with sx of hyperphagia and probably other sx but I forgot.
