Summary
Nitromethaqualone is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant of the quinazolinone class that acts as a sedative and hypnotic. Nitromethaqualone is a derivative of methaqualone, distinguished by the presence of a nitro group, which affects its pharmacological profile. While methaqualone gained popularity in the 1960s and 70s, nitromethaqualone has been studied less extensively but exhibits similar depressant effects.

Add to PsychonautWiki Journal
The PsychonautWiki Journal logging app doesn't include every substance. To track Nitromethaqualone there, start adding an ingestion, search for the name, and choose to add it as a custom substance. Paste these values:
Nitromethaqualone Source: SubstanceSearch (substancesearch.com) Oral dose (mg): threshold 10 · light 10-25 · common 25-50 · strong 50-60 · heavy 60+ Insufflated dose (mg): threshold 5 · light 5-10 · common 10-30 · strong 30-60 · heavy 60+ Note: ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription. Start low, go slow, and test your substances.
Tip: for quicker logging you can also add a Custom Unit in the app, e.g. common dose ~ 37.5 mg (Oral).
The app keeps custom substances simple, so the full dose ranges live in the description text above. Ranges are harm-reduction guidance, not a prescription.
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.
