Am J Psychiatry. 1981 Nov;138(11):1508-9. doi: 10.1176/ajp.138.11.1508.

Abstract

The authors report a patient who suffered a full-blown manic attack after ingesting LSD or an LSD analogue. The patient experienced acute symptoms of LSD intoxication, which resolved but were followed in about 3 weeks by a typical manic episode of psychotic magnitude. The mania cleared with lithium therapy.
