A diagnosis of “other hallucinogen intoxication” is based on the recent use of a hallucinogen (other than phencyclidine) that causes:
- Significant problematic behavior or psychological changes (e.g., marked anxiety or depression, delusions/ideas of reference, fear of “losing one’s mind,” paranoid ideation, impaired judgment)
- Perceptual changes occurring in a state of full wakefulness and alertness (e.g., subjective intensification of perceptions, depersonalization, derealization, illusions, hallucinations, synesthesias
- Two or more of the following signs developing during, or shortly after, hallucinogen use:
- Pupillary dilation
- Rapid heartbeat
- Sweating
- Palpitations
- Blurred vision
- Tremors
- Incoordination
