| Ketamin | PCP | |
|---|---|---|
| Class | Dissoziativa | Dissoziativa |
| Risk Level | moderate | high |
| Mechanisms | NMDA-Antagonist | NMDA-Antagonist, DAT-Inhibitor, Sigma-Agonist |
| Receptors | NMDA | NMDA, DAT, Sigma-1 |
| Effects | Dissoziation: Gefühl der Trennung von Körper und Umgebung (Out-of-Body-Experience), K-Hole: vollständig dissoziierter Bewusstseinszustand bei hohen Dosen, völlige Raum-Zeit-Auflösung, Starke Zeitverzerrung und veränderte Raumwahrnehmung, Analgesie: deutliche Schmerzreduktion, Halluzinationen und psychedelische Visionen | — |
| Evidence |
Ketamin wirkt hauptsächlich als Antagonist des NMDA-Rezeptors, was zu einer Hemmung der glutamatergen Neurotransmission führt und eine dissoziative Anästhesie sowie antidepressive Effekte erzeugt.
