Phencyclidine (or phencyclidine-like)-related disorders
Phencyclidine (or Phencyclidine-Like)- Related Disorders
The phencyclidines (or phencyclidine-like substances) include phencyclidine (PCP, Sernylan) and the less potent but similarly acting compounds such as ketamine (Ketalar, Ketaject), cyclohexamine, and dizocilpine. These substances were first developed as dissociative anesthetics in the 1950s and became street drugs in the 1960s. They can be taken orally or intravenously or can be smoked. Phencyclidine (sold illicitly under a variety of names such as PCP, Hog, Tranq, Angel Dust, and PeaCe Pill) is the most commonly abused substance in this class.
This section contains discussions specific to the Phencyclidine-Related Disorders. Texts and criteria sets have already been provided for the generic aspects of Substance Dependence (p. 192) and Substance Abuse (p. 198) that apply across all substances. The application of these general criteria to Phencyclidine Dependence and Abuse is provided below. However, there are no unique criteria sets for Phencyclidine Dependence or Phencyclidine Abuse. A specific text and criteria set for Phencyclidine Intoxication is also provided below. Although symptoms of phencyclidine withdrawal may occur, their clinical significance is uncertain, and a diagnosis of phencyclidine withdrawal is not included in this manual. The Phencyclidine-Induced Disorders (other than Phencyclidine Intoxication) are described in the sections of the manual with disorders with which they share phenomenology (e.g., Phencyclidine-Induced Psychotic Disorder is included in the "Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders" section). Listed below are the Phencyclidine Use Disorders and the Phencyclidine-Induced Disorders.
