Summary
1,4-DMAA is a positional isomer of 1,3-DMAA with limited human safety data. Anecdotal reports suggest it produces smoother stimulation with enhanced mood elevation compared to 1,3-DMAA. It raises heart rate and blood pressure, causes vasoconstriction, and can precipitate serious cardiovascular events including tachyarrhythmias and intracranial hemorrhage at high doses or in susceptible individuals.

| ROA | Onset | Comeup | Peak | Offset |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Effect Profile
Scores (1–10) curated from multiple sources:
- Effect keyword matching from PsychonautWiki catalog
- Weighted by importance: core (×3), major (×2), minor (×1)
Strong focus and anxiety/jitters with mild euphoria, low stimulation
Tolerance
Tolerance Decay
Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
