Question 11

Discuss the side effects of the anticholinergic psychedelic atropine.

Accepted Answer

Atropine, which is dl-hyoscyamine, scopolamine, or l-hyoscine, and l-hyoscyamine are all potent central and peripheral cholinergic blocking agents. These agents have potent peripheral and central effects, and some of the psychological responses to these drugs are probably a reaction to peripheral changes. These alkaloids block the production of mucus in the nose and throat. They also prevent salivation, so the mouth becomes uncommonly dry, and perspiration stops. Temperature can increase to fever levels (109°F has been reported in infants with atropine poisoning), and heart rate can show a 50-beat-per-minute increase with atropine. Even at moderate doses these chemicals cause considerable dilation of the pupils of the eyes, with a resulting inability to focus on nearby objects. With large enough doses, a behavioral pattern develops that resembles toxic psychosis; there is delirium, mental confusion, loss of attention, drowsiness, and loss of memory for recent events.
