You may have heard of DMXE. It is a new substance that has recently become popular in certain circles. But what exactly is it? How does it work? What are its effects and user experiences? And, not insignificantly, what are the risks involved? In this blog, we dive into the world of DMXE and give you all the information you need.
What is DMXE?
DMXE, in full deoxymethoxetamine, is a synthetic substance belonging to the arylcyclohexylamine family. It is a dissociative agent, meaning it can cause feelings of disconnection of body and mind. DMXE was developed as an analogue of methoxetamine (MXE). This is a substance that was previously popular but has since been banned. Like MXE, DMXE is intended for research purposes and not for human use.
How does DMXE work?
DMXE has a special way of working in your brain. It mainly targets the NMDA receptors. Tiny switches that help communicate between your nerve cells. What DMXE does is actually temporarily block those switches. This makes communication a bit more chaotic, which creates that typical ‘disconnected’ feeling people talk about. Like being in another dimension for a moment. But that's not all. DMXE also plays a side role in how your brain handles serotonin. That's the substance responsible for your mood and how comfortable you feel. This can boost feelings of euphoria and well-being. Sounds impressive, right? Remember, it's still a substance for research purposes, so always handle it with care!
Effects of DMXE
The effects of DMXE are as unique as the person using it. In fact, how you experience it depends on the dosage and how your body reacts to it. Many users describe an intense feeling of joy and well-being, like being in a warm bath of good vibes. Feeling disconnected is also a common effect. It can feel like you are outside your own body. Or as if your surroundings are just a touch stranger than usual. Your senses can also take a turn for the worse. Colours seem brighter, sounds different, and time? It feels like it goes into slow motion, or flashes by faster. At higher doses, some people even report visual or auditory hallucinations. Like patterns, shapes or even complete dreamlike scenes. Some users say their creative ideas suddenly abound. Still, you should know: DMXE, like DCK, stays in your system longer than substances like ketamine. A trip can last for hours, so keep that in mind.
User experiences
User experiences with DMXE vary widely. Some compare it to MXE and describe it as an intense and profound experience. One user shared, ‘My room was my whole universe and I felt connected to the universe and all people.’ Another user reported, ‘The effect expresses itself mainly mentally and has a “serotogenic” edge. Everything feels just a bit warmer.’ These varied experiences highlight that the effects of DMXE are subjective and can vary greatly from one individual to another.
Possible risks of DMXE
Although some users report positive experiences, there are also significant risks associated with using DMXE:
- Higher doses of DMXE can lead to side effects such as hallucinations, confusion and loss of consciousness.
- Like other dissociatives, DMXE can lead to dependence with frequent use.
- Because DMXE is a relatively new substance, its long-term effects and full risks have not yet been well studied.
- In many countries, possession, sale or use of DMXE is illegal, which can lead to legal consequences.
DMXE is a potent and relatively new dissociative substance that can have both interesting and potentially dangerous effects. Although some users report positive experiences, the risks and unknown factors are considerable. It is essential to exercise caution and stay well-informed about the potential consequences of using such substances. Always remember that your health and safety come first.
