Stimulants like Adderall, Ritalin, and Vyvanse can cause Stimulant Induced Psychosis and Paranoia. This is a potentially life threatening condition. There are various presentations, but some of the more common ones included paranoia that the police, FBI or others are trying to arrest or harm an individual or that there's an insect infestation on someone's body, or in their home. Stimulants can actually cause something called "Formication," which is a sensation that bugs are crawling on their skin (a form of tactile hallucination).
