Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The symptoms described suggest a possible cocaine overdose, which can cause anxiety, tachycardia, and agitation. Other drugs may produce similar symptoms, but cocaine is a common cause of a "high as a kite" presentation. However, without more information, it is impossible to say for sure which drug(s) the patient has used.
