Hallucinogens: PCP and Ketamine 15th Flashcards
in what sense are dissociative a Hal
it decouples perceptual from sensory; can’t make sense of sensory signals
how are dissociative stimulants
induce euphoria and numbing= can turn into panic= stimulant
what causes the amnesia in dissociative
if brain can’t make sense of sensory signals it won’t encode it
T: muscle flaccidity
catalepsy
what schedule is ketamine
1
ketamine is being used in … research
schizophrenia due to glutamate connection
T: a synthetic analog of a legally restricted or prohibited drug, devised to circumvent drug laws. (dissociates fall under this)
designer drugs
what is the full name for dissociative
dissociative anesthetic hallucinogen
what 3 drug classes do dissociates fall under
depressants, stimulants and hallucinogens
2 things that make them depressant
sedative, pain
dissociative separate … from …
perception from sensation
3 general effects of dissociative
amnesia, analgesic, catalepsy
what were dissociates destined for
surgery (didn’t know side effects)
what schedule are these drugs in US?
2 for vet use
PCP and ketamine are the same kind of dissociative Hal but have Dif effect
f opposite
what was the similar effect of PCP and ketamine
anesthesia
street name for ketamine
special K, vitamin K (very dangerous have other meanings) bump, green, super acid
how is ketamine in took 4
insufflation, inhalation, injection (medical), oral (assault)
how long does onset take for ingestion vs insufflation, inhalation, injection
ingestion: 2 hour
others 10-60 min
full name for PCP
phencyclidine
why is PCP less common
pricer
street names for PCP
Angel Dust, ozone, rocket fuel
what is the ironic thing about the street names of PCP
refer to methods of preparation
2 intake methods for PCP how long for onset for each 2
insufflation (1min) or inhalation (5 min)
how long does PCP last
30 min onset to 18 hours
T: a yellowish “oil” solution that cigarettes or joints are dipped in PCP
embalming fluid
T: PCP mixed with Marijuana
killer joints (sherms)= rocket fuel best
T: PCP crystals ground and sprinkled on oregano, parsley, alfalfa and smoked
angel dust (the oregano doesn’t do anything)
why does dosage influence the MOA on the dissociatives
binding affinity of chemical at Dif doses
what NT disrupted in low doses
seretonin and dopamine
any permissive hypothesis with dissociative
no because it has to do with binding affinity
what do dissociatives do to dopamine of seretonin
repuptake inhibitor
what does it do as a reuptake inhibitor
disengages the mechanism (messing with metatropic function not just blocking= LT effects)
low doses act as a partial agonist for …2
5-HT2A, D2 receptors (reward potential and Hal components)
high doses influence what NT
Ach
what do high doses do to ach
antagonist
what are the act receptors called 2
muscurininc and nicotinic
… NT is responsible for memory
ACH
