I don't know exactly how many hallucinations this has caused - if I had had more time I would have trawled through the EROWID website and done a count.
A description of the experience
2-DPMP - Desoxypipradrol, also known as 2-diphenylmethylpiperidine is a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI). It was researched for applications such as the treatment of narcolepsy and ADHD, but dropped from development after the related drug methylphenidate was developed by the same company. The hydroxylated derivative pipradrol was, however, introduced as a clinical drug indicated for depression, narcolepsy and cognitive enhancement in organic dementia.
As of the 4th November 2010, the UK Home Office announced a ban on the importation of 2-DPMP. Prior to the import ban, desoxypipradrol was sold as a 'legal high' in several products, most notably "Ivory wave". Its use led to several Emergency Department visits
