Can hallucinogens affect neurotransmitter levels in the long term?

Hallucinogens are a class of drugs that alter perception, thinking, and mood. While the immediate effects of hallucinogens are well-studied, there is limited research on their long-term impact on neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Some studies suggest that certain hallucinogens, such as LSD and psilocybin, may initially disrupt neurotransmitter systems, particularly those involved in serotonin regulation. However, it remains unclear whether these changes persist over the long term. More research is needed to fully understand the potential impact of hallucinogens on neurotransmitter levels and their implications for mental health and wellbeing.
