  • Pavlovian Conditioning and Heroin Overdose: Reports by Overdose Victims
    Bulletin of the Psychonomic Society 1984, 22 (5), 428-430 Pavlovian conditioning and heroin overdose: Reports by overdose victims SHEPARD SIEGEL McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada A Pavlovian conditioning model of tolerance emphasizes the contribution of an association between predrug cues and the systemic effects of the drug to tolerance. In agreement with the model, results of a recent animal experiment indicate that the lethal effect of heroin, in drug­ experienced rats, is influenced by the cues associated with its administration. To assess the ap­ plicability of these findings to instances of heroin overdose in humans, overdose survivors were questioned about the circumstances of their overdose. These retrospective reports by human victims are congenial with these animal data, and suggest that the conditioning model may be relevant to some instancesofoverdosedeathamongheroin addicts. Each year, approximately 1% of heroin addicts die, result from a failure of tolerance; that is, the opiate mostly from an acute reaction to an intravenously addict, who can usually tolerate extraordinarily high administered heroin solution-eo-called "overdose" doses, is not tolerant on the occasion of the overdose death (Maurer & Vogel, 1973 , p. 101). The mechanisms (Siegel, Hinson, Krank , & McCully, 1982). Such a failure of many of these deaths are unclear. Some result from a of tolerance is explicable on the basis of a model of pharmacological overdose (e.g., Huber, 1974), but many toler ance emphasizing Pavlovian conditioning principles victims die following a dose that would not be expected (reviewed by Siegel, 1983). The model is based on to be fatal for these drug-experienced, and presumably Pavlov's (1927, p.

    SESSION IX CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANTS HS172A R01/10 1 SESSION IX CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANTS Upon successfully completing this session the student will be able to: o Explain a brief history of the CNS Depressant category of drugs. o Identify common drug names and terms associated with this category. o Identify common methods of administration for this category. o Describe the symptoms, observable signs and other effects associated with this category. o Describe the typical time parameters, i.e. onset and duration of effects, associated with this category. o List the clues that are likely to emerge when the drug influence evaluation is conducted for a person under the influence of this category of drugs. o Correctly answer the "topics for study" questions at the end of this session. HS172A R01/10 2 A. Overview of CNS Depressants Central Nervous System Depressants slow down the operations of the brain. They first affect those areas of the brain that control a person's conscious, voluntary actions. As dosage increases, depressants begin to affect the parts of the brain controlling the body's automatic, unconscious processes, such as heartbeat and respiration. Alcohol is the model for the CNS Depressant category of drugs. Alcohol is the most familiar, and most widely abused, depressant. With some exceptions, all depressants affect people in much the same way as does alcohol. Some major subcategories of CNS Depressants other than alcohol include: • Barbiturates (Derivatives of Barbiturate Acid) • Non-Barbiturates (Synthetic compounds with a variety of chemical structures) • Anti-Anxiety Tranquilizers (Frequently prescribed and frequently abused) • Anti-Depressants (It may seem to be a contradiction in terms to call a subcategory of Depressants the Anti-Depressants; but in this case, we simply mean that these drugs are prescribed to combat psychological depression.

Screening technologies are predominantly immunoassay techniques which may prove high sensitivity but are of limited specificity. Manufacturers will test for common potential interfering substances and list these on the package insert, however it is not possible to test every compound. Also some compounds ingested in therapeutic dosage may not cross-react, however when abused in “mega” doses may significantly influence urine immunoassay results.
