*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical 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, before steadily dropping off. | *'''[[Effect::Spontaneous physical sensations]]''' - The "body high" of MDEA can be characterized as a moderate to extreme euphoric relaxing sensation that encompasses the entire body.

====Enhancements==== | |||
MDEA presents an array of visual enhancements which are mild in comparison to traditional psychedelics, but still distinctively present. These generally include: | |||
*'''[[Effect::Colour enhancement]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Pattern recognition enhancement]]''' | |||
====Suppressions==== | |||
*'''[[Effect::Double vision]]''' | |||
====Distortions==== | |||
*'''[[Effect::Tracers]]''' | |||
*'''[[Effect::Symmetrical texture repetition]]''' | |||
====Hallucinatory states==== | |||
MDEA is capable of producing a unique range of low and high-level hallucinatory states in a fashion that is significantly less consistent and reproducible than that of many other commonly used [[psychedelics]]. These effects are far more common during the [[Duration#Offset|offset]] of the experience and commonly include: | |||
*'''[[Effect::Peripheral information misinterpretation]] | |||

|{{effects/cognitive| | |||
The cognitive effects of MDEA can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The broad head space of MDEA is described by many as one of moderate mental stimulation, feelings of love, warmth or empathy and powerful relaxing euphoria. It contains a large number of typical [[Psychedelics|psychedelic]], [[Entactogens|entactogenic]] and [[Stimulants|stimulating]] cognitive effects. | The cognitive effects of MDEA can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage.

The effects which occur during the [[offset]] of a [[stimulant]] experience generally feel negative and uncomfortable in comparison to the effects which occurred during its [[peak]]. This is often referred to as a "comedown" and occurs because of [[neurotransmitter]] depletion.
