INTRODUCTION: In 1999, a new synthetic tryptamine, 5-MeO-DIPT, became known as a street drug, with the street name of "Foxy" or "Foxy Methoxy". By February 2003, the DEA reported law enforcement seizures and/or reports of abuse in 12 states. We report a case along with an analysis of poison center data on this new drug of abuse. CASE REPORT: A 19-year-old male was brought to the emergency department following ingestion of a larger than his usual dose of Foxy. Upon arrival, he had hallucinations, hypertension, tachycardia, mydriasis, and catalepsy. Symptoms resolved within two hours after administration of lorazepam and he recovered uneventfully. DISCUSSION: The AAPCC TESS database contained 41 exposures to "Foxy" between April, 2002 and June, 2003; 26 had moderate or major effects, indicating this drug has significant toxic potential. Given the expanding use of this and other club drugs, the spectrum of toxicity from this new agent will continue to be elucidated.
