Do you have any idea what it looks like?

I'm not a pharmacist, but if you could tell us all
anything more about the drug, maybe someone could help.

I'm very sorry to hear that this has happened.
Keep me updated if you don't mind. I'd like to know
what happens and when your daughter returns to her
normal state.

Here's an update:

I just did a bit of research and found this website that may help you:

http://www.psychosissucks.ca/epi/ind...n=substanceuse

Most importantly:

"Psychosis-inducing drugs

Psychosis can be induced by drugs or can be “drug assisted”. Some stimulating drugs, like amphetamines, can cause psychosis, while other drugs, including marijuana, can trigger the onset of psychosis in someone who is already at increased risk because they have "vulnerability".

It is also believed that some drugs such as amphetamines and cocaine can cause a condition known as a drug-induced psychosis. This psychosis can last up to a few days, and is often characterized by hallucinations, delusions, memory loss and confusion. This usually results from prolonged or heavy street-drug use; and it responds well to treatment."

Hey that's great that she recovered. I guess that website wasn't
a bad source of information after all.
Hopefully she'll just need a bit more time to recover from her
memory loss.

Thanks for the update!
