1. Phencyclidine is often taken in larger amounts or over a longer period than was in-
tended.
2. There is a persistent desire or unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control phency-
clidine use.
3. A great deal of time is spent in activities necessary to obtain phencyclidine, use the
phencyclidine, or recover from its effects.
4. Craving, or a strong desire or urge to use phencyclidine.
5. Recurrent phencyclidine use resulting in a failure to fulfill major role obligations at
work, school, or home (e.g., repeated absences from work or poor work performance
related to phencyclidine use; phencyclidine-related absences, suspensions, or ex-
pulsions from school; neglec t of children or household).
6. Continued phencyclidine use despite having persistent or recurrent social or inter-
