===Conditioned drug response===
A stimulus that is present when a [[drug]] is administered or consumed may eventually evoke a conditioned physiological response that mimics the effect of the drug. This is sometimes the case with [[caffeine]]; habitual [[coffee]] drinkers may find that the smell of coffee gives them a feeling of alertness. In other cases, the conditioned response is a compensatory reaction that tends to offset the effects of the drug. For example, if a drug causes the body to become less sensitive to pain, the compensatory conditioned reaction may be one that makes the user more sensitive to pain. This compensatory reaction may contribute to [[drug tolerance]]. If so, a drug user may increase the amount of drug consumed in order to feel its effects, and end up taking very large amounts of the drug. In this case a dangerous overdose reaction may occur if the CS happens to be absent, so that the conditioned compensatory effect fails to occur. For example, if the drug has always been administered in the same room, the stimuli provided by that room may produce a conditioned compensatory effect; then an [[Drug overdose|overdose]] reaction may happen if the drug is administered in a different location where the conditioned stimuli are absent.<ref>{{cite book |last=Carlson |first=Neil R.|name-list-style=vanc |title=Psychology: The Science of Behaviour |year=2010 |publisher=Pearson Education Inc. |location=New Jersey, United States |isbn=978-0-205-64524-4 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/psychologyscienc0004unse/page/599 599–604] |url=https://archive.org/details/psychologyscienc0004unse/page/599}}</ref>
