Patients who respond best to Stramonium may experience rage and violence, particularly sudden outbursts accompanied by strong fears. The anger may be rooted in profound fear, following abuse or an accident. The fear may take the form of terror of the dark or of water. Those affected may also manifest hyperactive or overt sexuality. They are prone to stammering and may have religious delusions, praying and proselytizing incessantly.

This remedy is prescribed for fevers and chest complaints accompanied by the typical rages and terrors. It is also used if the characteristic traits are evident, for delirium, tics, convulsions, Parkinson`s disease, epilepsy and other nervous-system disorders.

The remedy is sometimes prescribed to treat chorea and for some serious psychological problems such as mania, manic depression and schizophrenia, particularly if they are accompanied by hallucinations or violence.
