Intensification of amphetamine-induced excitation by methysergide, a serotonergic receptor blocker.

K Blum, J E Wallace, E Meyer, H A Schwertner.   

Abstract

Methysergide, a serotonergic receptor blocker, was studied to determine its effects against d-amphetamine-induced excitation as measured by convulsions elicited by handling in mice. Significant intensification (p less than 0.01) of the action of d-amphetamine was observed in mice. These results indicate that reduction in serotonergic activity in the central nervous system enhances excitation induced by d-amphetamine.
