    Summary dose.wiki

    Very little peer-reviewed human data exist. Limited forensic reports indicate occasional appearance in illicit 'party pill' blends between 2013-2019. Animal receptor-binding screens show micromolar affinity for 5-HT2A/2C and moderate inhibition of serotonin uptake, suggesting a hybrid psychedelic-stimulant profile comparable to 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxy-BZP (2C-B-BZP) but with lower potency.

    Dose Information Drugs.Wiki

    Dose basis. Ranges are extrapolated from limited user reports and by-analogy to other benzyl/phenylpiperazines; treat as highly uncertain. Start with an allergy test (1โ€“2 mg), then a low test dose only after no adverse reaction. Many piperazines are supplied as hydrochloride salts; milligram potency may differ vs freebase. Avoid redosing for at least 3 hours due to delayed peak and risk of cumulative toxicity. (Dose figures and this note are from Drugs.Wiki.)
