Antipsychotic drugs that act as antagonists for both 5-HT2A receptors and D2 receptors are commonly used to treat psychosis. Phencyclidine (PCP) is a drug that acts as an NMDA receptor antagonist and can cause psychotic symptoms. Antipsychotic drugs that target 5-HT2A and D2 receptors can reduce some of the effects of PCP, such as hallucinations and delusions. Therefore, the most likely outcome is that this drug would reduce some of the effects of phencyclidine.
