α-methyltryptamine Uses, Dosage, Side Effects and more
α-methyltryptamine (alpha-methyltryptamine) is a stimulant and psychoactive drug which produces effects similar to 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA), despite being structurally dissimilar. It was developed in the 1960's by Upjohn with the intention for use as an antidepressant. In the 1990's, indopan became regulated as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United states.
With 20-30 milligrams, euphoria, empathy and psychedelic effects are noticeable. Side effects reported have included anxiety, restlessness, tachycardia, muscle tension, jaw tightness, headache, nausea, vomiting, and pupil dilation.
