surroundings. Numbness, slurred speech and loss
of coordination may be accompanied by a sense
of strength and invulnerability. A blank stare,
rapid and involuntary eye movements, and an exaggerated
gait are among the more observable effects. Auditory
hallucinations, image distortion, severe mood
disorders, and amnesia may also occur. In some
users, PCP may cause acute anxiety and a feeling
of impending doom, in others paranoia and violent
hostility, and in some it may produce a psychoses
indistinguishable from schizophrenia. PCP use
is associated with a number of risks and many
believe it to be one of the most dangerous drugs
of abuse.
