Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) can cause rhabdomyolysis, a condition involving muscle breakdown. This review highlights limited reports and potential management strategies for LSD-induced rhabdomyolysis.
Area of Science:
- Toxicology
- Neurology
- Emergency Medicine
Background:
- Rhabdomyolysis is muscle cell injury with symptoms of pain and weakness.
- Illicit substances like cocaine and MDMA are known causes of rhabdomyolysis.
- Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) is also cited as a potential cause.
Observation:
- This study presents a case of rhabdomyolysis in a healthy individual following LSD ingestion.
- Literature review indicates limited documented cases of LSD-associated rhabdomyolysis.
- Despite limited reports, LSD is frequently listed as a potential cause.
Findings:
- The review explores potential mechanisms behind LSD-induced rhabdomyolysis.
- Management strategies for LSD-associated rhabdomyolysis are discussed.
- Psychiatric consultation is vital for managing LSD intoxication symptoms and facilitating treatment.
Implications:
- This research underscores the need for awareness of LSD's potential to cause rhabdomyolysis.
- It highlights the importance of considering LSD in cases of unexplained rhabdomyolysis.
- Findings inform clinical practice regarding the diagnosis and management of LSD-related emergencies.

Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
