This effect is considerably more likely to manifest itself when the user has a large supply of the given substance within their possession. It can be partially avoided by pre-weighing dosages, not keeping the remaining material within sight, exerting self-control, and giving the compound to a trusted individual to keep until they deem it safe to return. | This effect is considerably more likely to manifest itself when the user has a large supply of the given substance within their possession.

Compulsive redosing is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[cognitive euphoria]], [[physical euphoria]], or [[anxiety suppression]] alongside of other effects which inhibit the clarity of one's decision-making processes such as [[disinhibition]], [[motivation enhancement]], and [[ego inflation]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of a wide variety of compounds, such as [[opioid|opioids | Compulsive redosing is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[cognitive euphoria]], [[physical euphoria]], or [[anxiety suppression]] alongside of other effects which inhibit the clarity of one's decision-making processes such as [[disinhibition]], [[motivation enhancement]], and [[ego inflation]].
