Wbc and amphetamines: Demargination is the process of WBC entering the peripheral circulation from areas of intravascular marginated polymorphonuclear cell pools. Similar to the conditions underlying increased bone marrow production of WBC demargination may occur in response to stress and certain drugs. Amphetamine can induce anxiety but more likely toxic or elevated doses of these drugs will produce elevated wbc.
