===Tolerance and addiction potential===

As with other [[~~stimulants~~]], the chronic use of mephedrone can be considered [[Addiction potential::moderately addictive with a high potential for abuse]] and is capable of causing psychological dependence among certain users. When addiction has developed, cravings and [[withdrawal effects]] may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.

When addiction has developed, cravings and [[withdrawal effects]] may occur if a person suddenly stops their usage.

Tolerance to many of the effects of mephedrone [[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). Mephedrone presents cross-tolerance with [[Cross-tolerance::all [[dopamine]]rgic [[~~stimulants~~]]]], meaning that after the consumption of mephedrone all [[stimulant]]s will have a reduced effect.
