Phencyclidine (PCP) has been known to produce effects similar to the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, including delusions and hallucinations (positive symptoms) as well as social withdrawal and apathy (negative symptoms). However, it should be noted that the effects of PCP are not exactly the same as those seen in schizophrenia and are often much more intense and unpredictable. Additionally, treating someone with an antipsychotic drug alongside PCP would be unlikely to produce schizophrenia-like effects, as antipsychotics are typically used to treat such symptoms rather than induce them.
