Background:
Rhabdomyolysis involves the release of intracellular contents secondary to muscle cell injury; it generally presents with muscle pain and weakness. Illicit drugs, including phencyclidine, MDMA ("ecstasy"), and cocaine, are frequently documented as a cause of rhabdomyolysis.
Objective:
The authors review the literature on LSD-associated rhabdomyolysis.
Method:
The authors provide a new case report of a previously health patient who suffered rhabdomyolysis after LSD ingestion.
Results:
Although frequently listed as a cause of rhabdomyolysis, there are only limited reports of rhabdomyolysis in patients who have ingested LSD.
Discussion:
The discussion outlines potential mechanisms and management of LSD-associated rhabdomyolysis. Consultation psychiatrists may be called to assist in management of acute mental-status changes or agitation associated with LSD intoxication in addition to facilitating subsequent chemical-dependency treatment.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
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.
