Psilocybin MOA
Agonist at 5HT2A receptors on Raphe cell body –> inhibition of Raphe Nuclei firing –> increased sensory input; partial dopamine agonist
Phencyclidine (PCP) MOA
Antagonist of ion channel associated with NDMA receptor; agonist at mu opioid receptors
Amphetamines (Benzadrine) MOA
Indirect sympathomimetic (release biologic amines from nerve terminals in periphery and in CNS); dopamine most important
