Edwards, R. V., Tomsovic, M.
This historic study (1970; n=75) used LSD (500μg) in the treatment of alcoholics and found that those without schizophrenia (about 2/3 of patients) responded better.
Abstract
Of 75 alcoholics treated with lysergide, 23 were diagnosed as schizophrenics. The nonschizophrenics had better reactions to the drug and more of them were abstinent at a 1-year follow-up than the schizophrenics and than alcoholics treated by other methods.
