Lysergide Treatment of Schizophrenic and Nonschizophrenic Alcoholics; A Controlled Evaluation

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.
