Flakka (alpha-PVP) is a powerful synthetic cathinone — sometimes called "bath salts" — that produces extreme stimulation and severe psychiatric symptoms. It's one of the most dangerous designer drugs available, frequently causing psychosis, paranoia, hyperthermia, and violent behavior. Treatment requires specialized dual diagnosis care because of the severe mental health effects.
Warning SignsLife-threatening combination of hyperthermia, agitation, and cardiovascular collapse.
Severe cardiovascular strain — even in young, healthy users.
Hyperthermia and muscle breakdown lead to acute kidney injury.
Symptoms can persist for weeks or months after stopping use.
Severe depression and impulsivity dramatically increase suicide risk.
Long-term changes to brain chemistry; some damage may be permanent.
