The authors present two cases of khat addiction that were successfully treated with bromocriptine. Khat is a bush cultivated in the Mid East because of its highly stimulant effects. Its leaves contain a variety of sympathomimetics. While khat is rarely found in the U.S., American soldiers stationed in the Arabian peninsula may be exposed to it. Because of an alcohol interdiction during the current Persian Gulf crisis, these troops may be tempted to use this plant as an alternative recreational drug.
