Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD-25) consistently produces physical symptoms such as tremor, nausea, dilated pupils, perspiration, and blood pressure changes, but its mental effects vary widely across studies. Some researchers report increased activity, emotional expression, and psychopathology with brief confusion and occasional visual hallucinations, while others emphasize the reliving of repressed personal experiences due to nonselective disturbance of the unconscious. One clinical psychological study found the mood to be one of aggrandizement.
