> kazoo - The LSD/brain damage (actually chromosome damage) studies were not replicable. Subsequently, they found that the lab animals (mice, I think) they were using were a bad batch. They had a more than normal rate of birth defects. Sorry dude, the brain damage was there before the LSD. ;^) After doing an extensive study on LSD for a paper in my psychology class (I was going to prove it was damaging) I found that it is probably safer "physically" (not psychologically) than smoking a cigarette (regular one). - Cam W.
Cam, I was reading about various hallucinogens, wondering if some people respond to AD that are like the hallucinogens (or other illicit drugs) that they have found most congenial (i.e., ones that affect HT-1, HT-2, or whatever). One article mentioned long-term effects on neurotransmitter sites from antidepressants, not just drugs like Ecstasy. Are there any good studies on long-term antidepressant use (having used AD's for over 20 years, I fear ending up anhedonic, without any serotonergic receptors!). Thanks!
