Phenoxy- and phenoxybenzamine placebo were given in capsules. ben~amlne L-Epinephrine HCL and epinephrine placebo were administered subcutaneously. Specific details on dosage are gtven under the particul•r experiments. Experiments were "double-blind"-- neither the patients nor the ~bservers knew what drugs had been given. In evaluating the effect of phenoxybenzamine on the LSD reaction the following combinations of drugs were administered at intervals of seven ddys in randcm b~lanced or~er: LSD placebo plus phenoxybenzarnine LSD phenoxybenzamine placebo, LSD plus ~lacebo, ~Ius phenoxybenzamine, and LSD placebo plus phenoxybenzarnine. Methods of Measure~ent. Intensity of the LSD reaction was assessed by methods previously described t111.

Mtbsis, postural hypotension, and postural tachycardia indicated that some degree of peripheral adr~n~rgic blcckade hdd occurred after phenoxy~enzamine alone.

Since ·no definite attenuation of the LSD reaction was observed in the p~evicus experiment, it seemed wise to determine whether the.dose of phenoxybcnzamine u~ed would significantly alter the response to epinephrine.

Th~ decrease in diastot lc pressure after ~pinephrine was enhanced after phenoxyb•nz~mine. These results indicated that some degree of adrenergic blockade was present. Experiment 3.

A second test with epinephrine was carried out. five hours after .the last dose of pher.oxybenzamine. The resul-ts are shown in . table 3. A definite diminution in the rise in systol tc pressure after epinephrine was observed five hours after the last dose of phenoxybenzamlne·-as well as a marked enhancement of the decline in diastolic blood pressure aft~r both test ·doses cf epinephrine. ln addition, alI patients were unable . . . to ·stan~ quiitly for ~ore than~- minute wltho~t becoming dizzy or f~intlng.

Since these findings were compatible with a ·considerable degree of adrenergic blockade, this dosage of dibenzyl ine was used in experiment 4. -, . ..... Exoertment 4. Effect of 2.5 mg./kg. of Phenoxybenzamine (Dtvtded Doses 1 on the LSD-Reaction. Ten patienfs received <I 0.5~ 1.0 and 1~0 mg./kg. of phenoxybenzamine (Dr phenoxybenza- . mine placebo) 24 II, and 2 hours prior to 1.0 mcgrn./kg. of LSD. 6 Results are shown in table 4. Although the effects of phenoxybenzamlne were so pronounced that 5 of the patients fainted on standing for less than minute, there was no on~ reduction in the number of symptoms reported or in the intensity (cl tnical grade) of the reaction after phenoxybenzamine combined with LSD. A significant reducfion in pupillary diameter was noted but the other indicators of LSD effect, including the rise in systolic blood pressure, were unaffected. LSD tended to antagonize the effect of phenoxybenzamine on the pulse rate when standing. '· DISCUSS ICN No definite evidence of .a}tentJation of the. LSD-induced mental symptoms by phenoxybe~zamine was observed in the experiments described above. l t hardly see;ns I ikely that this ·could be due to tnddequate dosage of phencxybenzamine, since signs of a considerable desree of adrenergic blockade were present after phenoxybenzamine lmiosis, attenuation of parti~l . .. • j - ; the epinephrine-induced rlse in systolic blood pressure, accentuation of epineph~ine-Jnduced drop in di~stol ic pressu~e, and marked postural hypotension and.tachycardial •. ,. c:ven though the adrenergic blockade may not have been complete, the doses of LSD used were small, so some evidence of attenuation of the mental symptoms should have been detected. Failure of phenoxybenzamine to block the mental changes ~aused by LSD might indicate that the LSD reaction is not mediated adrenergically, or that phenoxybenzamine lacks centrat adrenergic blocking actrons. ·Stnce r61~ of epinephrine and/or as norepinephrine central synaptic transmitters is strrr speculative, these alternatives cannot be assessed at the present time.

The page contains the text of an experimental report, likely related to drug testing. Visual elements consist of faint horizontal lines from the paper, some speckling from age or damage, and two dark circular marks near the top, possibly from a binding or hole punch. In the lower right corner, there is a handwritten annotation in black ink: "A-383". There are no images, diagrams, tables, stamps, or forms visible on this page. The image shows a declassified CIA document page featuring a list of references. There are no photographs, diagrams, stamps, or filled-in forms. The page contains handwritten marginalia in the bottom right corner, reading "4-382". There are no visible redactions or obscured content, other than the inherent limitations of the aged document's quality. I 33 ±. 12 47 + IS I 0.

This page contains a portion of a numbered bibliography with a handwritten annotation in English at the bottom right corner. The text appears to be a list of scientific publications, each with author names, titles, and journal information. There are no photographs, stamps, forms, diagrams, tables, or redacted content visible on this page. The image displays a declassified document page containing a table of experimental data. The table, titled "TABLE 1," presents measurements related to the "Effect of 1.0 Mg./Kg. of Phenoxybenzamine on the Reaction Induced by 1.0 Mcgm./Kg. of LSD." The data is organized by "MEASURE" and "TREATMENT," with numerical values and associated standard errors presented in columns. Handwritten text "A-380" is visible in the upper right corner, and a small, circular stamp is present in the lower left corner. Below the table, there is explanatory text detailing the figures and methodology. No photographs, diagrams, or official stamps are clearly discernible beyond the handwritten annotation and the small circular stamp. The document displays a table labeled "TABLE 2" that presents data on the effect of phenoxybenzamine and epinephrine on physiological responses. The table is divided into sections "BEFORE PHENOXYBENZAMINE" and "AFTER PHENOXYBENZAMINE," with columns for "Placebo" and "Epinephrine" in each section. Handwritten annotations, including numbers and a large arrow with "A-379," are present in the upper right and left portions of the page. Text below the table provides a key explaining the data, noting that the figures represent means and standard errors of observations and how positive and negative figures should be interpreted. The overall page appears to be a scanned document with some unevenness and potential for minor image artifacts. The document contains a table labeled "TABLE 3" which presents data on the "Effect of 2.5 Mg./Kg. (Three Divided Doses) of Phenoxybenzamine on Response to 0.6 Mg. Epinephrine /70 Kg." The table has columns for "BEFORE PHENOXYBENZAMINE" (with subcategories "Placebo" and "Epinephrine") and "AFTER PHENOXYBENZAMINE" (with subcategories "(1) Epinephrine" and "(2) Epinephrine"). Below the table, there are numbered notes (1) and (2) providing context for the data. There is also handwritten marginalia in the top right corner that appears to be a string of characters and numbers, possibly a reference code or identifier. The rest of the page is blank, with some scattered dots that appear to be ink specks. The document is a declassified page from a report, identified as "Page 14" and containing "TABLE 4." This table presents structured data in a tabular format, detailing experimental results under different treatment conditions, specifically related to the effects of "Phenoxybenzamine" and "LSD" on various physiological measures. There is a handwritten annotation in the top right corner, appearing to be a code or identifier: "A-377". The page contains no photographs, diagrams, or stamps. The data itself, presented as mean values with standard errors, visually represents the quantitative outcomes of the experiment, providing a clear comparison across treatment groups.
