What are the properties, tolerance, and withdrawal symptoms associated with PCP use?

<p>Stimulus properties include animals trained to discriminate PCP and ketamine do not generalize this response to any other class of drugs (only those that block NMDA like dextromethorphan), tolerance develops when used everyday, and withdrawal symptoms include vocalizations, grinding of the teeth, diarrhea, difficulty staying awake, anxiety, confusion, tremors.</p> Signup and view all the answers

What are the self-administration patterns and prevalence of PCP use?

<p>PCP is self-administered by nonhuman animals, has reinforcing effects, and self-administration in humans has fairly low rates. Patterns of PCP use are similar to LSD, but unlike LSD, some occasional users may become chronic users. It is popular in metropolitan areas but not very popular elsewhere. Ketamine seems to be more prevalent among high school students and in the club scene.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Psychoactive Drugs: Effects and Characteristics

  • LSD has a half-life of 3-5 hours in humans and is metabolized in the liver

  • LSD causes dilation of the pupils, nausea, increased heart rate, and body temperature

  • Subjective effects of LSD include hallucinogenic, phantasticant, and perpetual effects

  • Keener perceptions, acute sight and sound, and impaired problem-solving are effects of LSD

  • Tolerance to LSD develops rapidly and dissipates within a week

  • There are no recorded deaths from LSD overdose, but it can cause acute psychotic reactions and flashbacks

  • MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, was initially synthesized by the Merck drug company and reclassified in 1985 due to neurotoxic effects

  • MDMA is associated with increased sex drive, wakefulness, and euphoria, and it affects neurotransmitter release and reuptake

  • MDMA induces a state similar to marijuana or low doses of PCP without hallucinations

  • MDMA is readily self-administered by primates and its use has declined due to perceived risk

  • Withdrawal from MDMA is not seen, but it can cause depletion in serotonin and various harmful effects

  • Salvia is a plant-based psychoactive drug that affects kappa-opioid and D2 DA receptors, inducing intense hallucinations and dissociative effects

  • Phencyclidine (PCP) is a synthetic dissociative anesthetic, while ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic used in veterinary medicine

  • PCP is known as crystal, angel dust, and hob, and ketamine is also known as K, Special K, and kitkat

  • Ketamine can be administered orally, inhaled, or injected, and it is slowly absorbed when taken orally.
