In low doses, 4-FMA has been reported to be a lackluster [[nootropic]] for general productivity. {{citation needed}} Such usage would be strongly discouraged however, due to the increased risks for neurotoxicity and other dangerous side-effects. The reasoning for this warning is based on the studies showing that 4-FMA is similar to [[MDA]], and belongs to the [[entactogen]] class. Using any entactogen frequently is considered dangerous, and it is seen as unwise to take "microdoses" below the minimum dose required to experience a "roll" with members of the [[entactogen]] class. At higher dosages, it is known to become dysfunctional and recreational due to the scattering quality of its [[euphoria]] and [[stimulation]].{{citation needed}} However, some reports suggest it tends to come with more side effects and bodily strain than other fluorinated amphetamines, explaining its lack of popularity and availability. <ref>4-fluoromethamphetamine (Reddit) | https://www.reddit.com/r/researchchemicals/comments/57fpu3/4fma_short_response/</ref>
