ICD-Code F16.4: Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of hallucinogens Withdrawal state with delirium
You had hallucinogen withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal has altered your state of consciousness.
Hallucinogens are substances that can significantly alter thinking, feelings and self-perception. They can affect various functions, including how you see, hear, think, and feel. Impressions from your surroundings or your own body may be intensified or unfamiliar. LSD is an example of a hallucinogen. However, hallucinogens are also found in some fungi or plants such as angel trumpets.
If you take hallucinogens regularly over a certain period of time, the body can get used to them. If you suddenly take significantly fewer hallucinogens or stop taking them altogether, you may experience physical and mental symptoms. These are known as withdrawal symptoms.
The withdrawal has also altered your state of consciousness. For example, your awareness and memory may alter. One may also no longer know who or where one is. You may feel paranoid.
