===Physical effects===

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' - The "body high" of ~~MDEA~~ can be characterized as a moderate to extreme euphoric relaxing sensation that encompasses the entire body. It is capable of becoming overwhelmingly pleasurable at higher doses to the point of "flooring" or immobilizing the user. This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, ~~MDEA~~ is commonly regarded as significantly less stimulating and energizing than MDMA, ~~while still retaining its core entactogenic effects. Unlike~~ MDMA, which encourages activities such as running, climbing and dancing in a way that makes it a popular choice for musical events such as festivals and raves. The distinct style of stimulation which ~~MDEA~~ presents can be described as mildly to moderately forced, trending more towards sedation and relaxation. This means that at higher doses, it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily body shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in an extreme unsteadiness of the hands and a general lack of motor control, though to a far lesser degree than with MDMA.

*'''[[Effect::Vibrating vision]]''' - At high doses, a person's eyeballs may begin to spontaneously wiggle back and forth in a rapid motion, causing the vision to become blurry and temporarily out of focus. This is a condition known as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nystagmus nystagmus].

*'''[[Effect::Dehydration]]''' - Like related entactogenic stimulants, feelings of dry mouth and dehydration are a universal experience with ~~MDEA~~; this effect is a product of an [[increased heart rate]] and metabolism. While it is important to avoid becoming dehydrated ~~(especially when out dancing in a hot environment)~~ there have been a number of users who have suffered from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_intoxication water intoxication] through over-drinking, so it is advised that users simply sip at the water and never over-drink.

*'''[[Effect::Difficulty urinating]]''' - Higher doses of ~~MDEA~~ result in an overall difficulty when it comes to urination. This is an effect that is completely temporary and harmless. It is caused by ~~MDEA’s~~ promotion of the release of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH); ADH is responsible for regulating urination. This effect can be lessened by simply relaxing, but can be significantly relieved by placing a hot flannel over the genitals to warm them up and encourage blood flow.
