Available online 29 November 2011 Methods: This double-blind study examined a broad range of psilocybin doses (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30 mg/70 kg) on headache in 18 healthy participants. Keywords: Results: Psilocybin frequently caused headache, the incidence, duration, and severity of which increased Psilocybin Headache in a dose-dependent manner. All headaches had delayed onset, were transient, and lasted no more than a day after psilocybin administration. Cluster headache Migraine Conclusions: Possible mechanisms for these observations are discussed, and include induction of delayed Classic hallucinogen headache through nitric oxide release. These data suggest that headache is an adverse event to be LSD expected with the nonmedical use of psilocybin-containing mushrooms as well as the administration Psychedelic of psilocybin in human research. Headaches were neither severe nor disabling, and should not present a barrier to future psilocybin research. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved. 1.
