Diazepam is recommended in a 10mg oral dose (Grinspoon and Bakalar, 1979). Because of its high lipid solubility, it has a more rapid onset, a shorter peak time and a shorter duration compared to other benzos (even lorazepam despite its shorter lifespan). The oral route is recommended as injection may further exacerbate anxiety. | |||

This should be used as a last resort (unmanageable psychosis) as the effects are quite abrupt and unpleasant and may lead to subsequent psychological problems. Do not use haloperidol as it will potentiate the effects of psychedelics (Vollenweider et al. 1998) | |||
Ketanserin (a 5-HT2A antagonist) could be used as a non anti-psychotic trip-killer too (Vollenweider et al. 1998). It is not available in the US. | |||
