    Summary dose.wiki

    Apomorphine is primarily used to treat acute hypomobility episodes in advanced Parkinson's disease. Despite its name, it does not contain morphine and does not bind to opioid receptors. Nausea is extremely common; antiemetic pretreatment with trimethobenzamide or domperidone is typically required.

    Add missing routes to PsychonautWiki Journal

    The PsychonautWiki Journal app already has Apomorphine, but its built-in entry only covers Insufflated, Intravenous, Oral, Smoked, Subcutaneous. Here are the other routes we have data for. You can't edit a built-in substance, but you can add a Custom Unit for any of these routes to log it.

    ⬇ Download import file Import this file as custom substances and you get "Apomorphine (Substance Search)" with every route's full dose ladder and timeline, no typing. Works on iOS and Android (v15+); the format is confirmed by the app's developer. The manual values below work for older versions.

Sublingual dose (mg): light 10

Subcutaneous duration: onset 5-15m · come-up 1-2h · peak 1-2h · offset 0.5-1h · total 1-2h · after-effects 1-12h
Sublingual duration: onset 10-30m · come-up 15-30m · peak 0.5-1.5h · offset 0.5-1h · total 1.42-3.5h

Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.

    Custom Units carry a single dose per route, so the full ranges live in the reference above. A route's suggested dose is the midpoint of its common range. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
