Methysergide

Methysergide (UML-491) is a prescription drug used for prophylaxis of migraine headaches and is sold under the brand names Sansert and Deseril in 2mg dosages. Methysergide was approved by the receptor antagonist for the 5-HT receptor 2C^[1].

Methysergide is one of the most effective medications for the prevention of migraine, but not for the treatment of an acute attack. It has a known Sandoz, but currently lists it as a product.

Like LSD, methysergide also produces psychedelic and hallucinogenic effects above a dosage of about 4mg.^[3] Full effects are felt with dosages of 8-20mg.^{[citation needed]}
