Does LSD Consumption Cause Permanent Mental Illness?
Question: I believe I was slipped lsd in my early 20's and have been mentally ill since then. Would the lsd be the cause and are anti-pshycotic meds a form of acid? I know on my bottle of hydroxazine it says HCL,( hydrochloric acid)
Brief Answer:
slipped disc cannot cause mental illness
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
ISD means inter spinal disc that I understood from your question. Slipped ISD can cause backache and neuromascular symptoms but not mental problem.
Hydroxyzine hydrochloride is an anti-histaminic drug and used as a sedative to treat anxiety and tension as well as to treat allergic skin reactions such as hives or contact dermatitis.
Most of the medicines contain some type of salt as a component of drug. It is there to improve absorption, metabolism tolerability and life of drug.
- Let me know your symptoms so I can comment about your psychiatric problem.
- If your meaning of ISD is different please clarify.
I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
