Poisoning by Lysergide [LSD], Accidental (Unintentional), Sequela

LSD, also known as acid, is a potent hallucinogenic drug that alters the user's perception, thoughts, and feelings. While LSD is not considered to be addictive, it can still be dangerous to use, especially when consumed in high doses or mixed with other substances.

Accidental poisoning by LSD can occur when an individual unintentionally ingests the drug or takes it in a higher dose than intended. The effects of LSD can last up to 12 hours, and during this time, the user may experience a range of physical and psychological symptoms.

Some common symptoms of LSD poisoning include:

  1. Visual hallucinations
  2. Distorted thinking and perception
  3. Mood swings and anxiety
  4. Nausea and vomiting
  5. Rapid heart rate and high blood pressure
  6. Increased body temperature

While LSD poisoning does not typically result in death, it can cause long-term sequela or after-effects. These may include:

  1. Anxiety and depression
  2. Flashbacks and persistent hallucinations
  3. Persistent changes in mood and personality
  4. Impaired concentration and memory
  5. Psychotic episodes

If you suspect that you or someone you know has been accidentally poisoned by LSD, seek medical attention immediately. While there is no specific treatment for LSD poisoning, healthcare professionals can provide supportive care, such as monitoring vital signs and managing symptoms.

It is important to remember that LSD is a powerful drug that can have serious consequences if not used responsibly. Always use caution when using any mind-altering substance, and never take more than the recommended dose.
