Summary
4-CEC is a poorly researched synthetic cathinone with limited human use data. Preclinical studies suggest neurotoxic properties including tissue damage to liver, kidney, and brain. The substance acts as a serotonin releasing agent, raising concerns about potential serotonergic toxicity. Users report significant post-use fatigue and reports suggest very low effects at common doses. Avoid combinations with other serotonergic drugs.
