Persons With Spinal Cord Injury Report Peripherally Dominant Serotonin-Like Syndrome After Use of Serotonergic Psychedelics

This descriptive review (2023) focuses on the reactions of persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) to classical serotonergic psychedelics like psilocybin and LSD. Anecdotal reports from online forums describe neuromuscular and autonomic hypersensitivity, including intense muscle spasms, sweating, and tremors, but with no worsening of baseline neurological deficits. The study proposes this reaction as a peripherally dominant serotonin syndrome-like clinical picture and emphasizes the need for awareness and harm reduction as psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) becomes more mainstream.
