7Long-Term Effects of LSD?
LSD is a potent drug that may lead to profound experiences by altering or even distorting your sensations and perceptions. While it is not considered to be addictive, some studies have shown that it would have some long-term effects on brain chemistry. These include:
– Persistent psychosis: This condition would be characterized by auditory and visual hallucinations, paranoia, disorganized thinking, as well as emotional disturbances that continue long after the drug has been discontinued. Your doctor may prescribe an antipsychotic to improve the symptoms.
– Serotonin syndrome: This problem is common in those who have already taken prescription psychiatric drugs. Symptoms include seizures, hallucinations, restlessness, and diarrhea.
– Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder or HPPD
These long-term effects may last for years or subside over time. [9]
