Acid Diethylamide

Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) belongs to the class of hallucinogens. LSD was discovered in 1938 and is a potent mood elevator. This is found in ergot, a fungus that grows on rye and other grains. LSD is a colorless, odorless, bitter solid. It is available in various forms such as tablets, capsules, and liquid. [Pg.325]

Interestingly, LSD is available in well-decorated absorbent paper and dispersed as small squares, facilitating its abuse by children and adults. The average dose is approximately 20 to 80 ig higher dose limits are 100 to 200 xg. The effect of LSD depends on the amount of intake effects appear within 30 to 90 minutes. Adverse effects include mydriasis, increased body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, dry mouth, sweating, and body tremors. [Pg.325]

The drug produces delusions and visual hallucinations. The sensations vary it may give a feeling of seeing sounds and hearing color or a small water [Pg.325]

Some neuroleptics, including clozapine, are potent 5-HT-receptor antagonists and the possible role of 5-HT in the action of neuroleptics and the development of schizophrenia has recently generated much interest (Busatto and Kerwin 1997). This has centred primarily on 5-HT2A receptors found in the limbic cortex, which are linked to neuronal excitation and believed to mediate the hallucinogenic effects of drugs such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD).
