Mania associated with LSD ingestion
CR Lake, AL Stirba, RE Kinneman Jr, B Carlson and HC Holloway
The authors report a patient who suffered a full-blown manic attack after
ingesting LSD or an LSD analogue. The patient experienced acute symptoms of
LSD intoxication, which resolved but were followed in about 3 weeks by a
typical manic episode of psychotic magnitude. The mania cleared with
lithium therapy.
