like [[zolpidem]] ( | GABAergic hallucinogens are substances that produce hallucinogenic effects such as perceptual changes, visual distortions, hallucinations, and bizarre behaviors via their activity at [[GABA]] receptors, which are typically associated with central nervous system [[depressants]] such as [[alcohol]] or [[benzodiazepines]]. These hallucinations and behavioral changes are likely a result of GABA<sub>A-ρ</sub> agonism; however, the precise mechanism is poorly understood.{{citation needed}} | ||
