LSD May Help Alcoholics Stay Off Booze
Alcoholics who were given the psychedelic lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) were more likely to stay on the wagon, according to a meta-analysis of studies from the late ’60s and early ’70s … the effectiveness of a single dose of LSD compared well with that of daily naltrexone (ReVia), acamprosate (Campral), or disulfiram (Antabuse), based on prior research.
Research has also shown the drug to be safe and nonaddictive, although it could carry acute psychiatric adverse events such as anxiety and confusion, they added.
