Summary
Animal studies show markedly lower serotonergic neurotoxicity than p-iodoamphetamine, but single 40 mg/kg doses still reduced hippocampal 5-HT uptake sites. Human anecdotal reports indicate 5-IAI is less euphoric and stimulating than MDMA, with some users reporting dysphoria, anxiety, and hallucinations at various doses. Many products sold as 5-IAI between 2010-2013 were mislabeled or adulterated; reagent testing is essential. Strong jaw tension, mild hyperthermia and pronounced pupil dilation are common. Hydration, cool environment, and magnesium can reduce bruxism.
