'''Hexedrone''' is a novel synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] of the [[chemical class::cathinone]] class. It has been speculated to act as a [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]]-[[reuptake inhibitor|reuptake-inhibitor]] (NDRI).


'''Hexedrone''' is a novel synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] of the [[chemical category::cathinone]] chemical class that produces [[stimulation]], [[disinhibition]], [[thought acceleration]] and [[euphoria]] when [[Routes of administration|administered]]. Considering the close structurally similarities it share with [[pentedrone]], it has been speculated to act as a [[norepinephrine]]-[[dopamine]]-[[reuptake inhibitor|reuptake-inhibitor]] (NDRI). However, this has yet to be scientifically validated.
[[Subjective effects]] include [[stimulation]], [[disinhibition]], [[thought acceleration]] and [[euphoria]].


Little research exists about both hexedrone, particularly with regards to its toxicity, addiction, and abuse potential. Due to its novelty and extremely short history of human usage, all information related to the use of this compound should be treated with extreme caution.

Tolerance to many of the effects of hexedrone [[Time to full tolerance::develops with prolonged and repeated use]]. This results in users having to administer increasingly large doses to achieve the same effects. After that, it takes about [[Time to half tolerance::3 - 7 days]] for the tolerance to be reduced to half and [[Time to zero tolerance::1 - 2 weeks]] to be back at baseline (in the absence of further consumption). Hexedrone presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[dopamine]]rgic [[stimulant]]s]], meaning that after the consumption of Hexedrone all [[stimulant]]s will have a reduced effect.
