    Didn't have a lot to talk about with LSD, so I dropped that one from the video so that you can focus on high yields only. EDIT: since people are asking for completeness sake: -Know that LSD is a 5HT2a agonist (increased 5HT activity) -Know that LSD produces both synesthesia (i.e. somebody touching your arm makes you hear sound) and depersonalization -For inhalants, know that the onset is generally rapid and it causes nystagmus, diplopia, tremor, and respiratory depression. The buzzword is a rash between the upper lip and nose. -For Bath Salts, think typical PCP presentation but prolonged.

    IMO a better way to think of the synthetic cathinones like bath salts, flakka or mephedrone is to compare them to high dose methamphetamine or cocaine but with even more agitation and psychotic presentation.

    Where does it come from? Because I see that this mnemonic further needs another mnemonic to memorize it 🤦‍♂️ I memorized it just by associating the z sound in benzo with the c in frequency, whereas barbiturates and duration both don't have such sharp sounds

    I'm not even a med student nor do I intend to be, but I still find your videos incredibly informative and reasonably easy to follow. I have become frustrated trying to find videos on these topics that are concise, unbiased, and stand up to scrutiny. There's something comforting about learning from the same source as other med students, even if I do need to skip over the minutiae or mnemonics here and there. Thanks for doing what you do.

    A really good mnemonic for pupil size in opiates vs cocaine: make a fist for the O and then a letter C with your hand --> Opiates with closed fist (pupil constriction) and Cocaine with open fist (pupil dilation). I don't remember where I heard but it's saved my life on multiple occasions 😭

I know "they are telling you the answer" in the question, but many times even when I highlight the right info, for some reason I still cant figure it out. Your test bank videos have been a huge help, and I have finished uwrold, but the idea of coming across a tricky question on the real exam (in 7 days) is really freaking me out.

    Are you using the term 'withdrawal' the same the whole way through? For example with alcohol you are meaning the effects that a chronic drinker experiences when they stop, however I feel like some of the symptoms you are explaining for later drugs seem like they might be more like the 'come down' after using the drug.
