The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational DOM use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]]~~. This is because DOM is a [[research chemical]] with very little history of human usage~~.

The toxicity and long-term health effects of recreational DOM use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact [[Toxicity::toxic dose is unknown]].

Anecdotal evidence suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed). [https://www.google.com/ Independent research] should always be done to ensure that a combination of two or more substances is safe before consumption.

It is strongly recommended that one use [[responsible drug use|harm reduction practices]] when using this substance.

===Overdose===

Overdose on DOM can start past the heavy dose range. Overdose effects typically include bizzare, [[delusion]]al and sometimes violent behavior, [[amnesia]], [[tactile suppression|numbness]], [[confusion]] and [[anxiety]]. The person may not be able to communicate and can be severely agitated. At appropriately high doses, more serious side effects include [[panic attack]]s, [[seizures]], dangerously [[increased heart rate|elevated heart rate]], [[increased blood pressure|blood pressure]] and [[vasoconstriction]]{{citation needed}}. Severe vasoconstriction typically develops to its peak several hours into the intoxication and may need medical assistence if blood flow is cut off significantly. If overdose occurs, [[benzodiazepines]] should be taken if possible to kill the hyperagitative effects, and a powerful vasodilator may need to be administered via the hospital, to prevent a hypertensive emergency, gangrene or in more serious cases, organ failure and death from the resulting hypoxia. DOM seems to exhibit its toxicity mostly in the brain in the form of memory problems{{citation needed}} and [[HPPD]] as well as on the circulatory system{{citation needed}}. The LD50 for DOM is unknown, although it probably lies higher than with [[DOB]] or other DOx, due to it's decreased potency, with anecdotal reports of 20mg not producing long-term health consequences.

===Tolerance and addiction potential===

DOM is [[Addiction potential::not habit-forming]] and the desire to use it can decrease with use. It is most often self-regulating.
