The toxicity and long term health effects of recreational MXE use do not seem to have been studied in any scientific context and the exact toxic dosage is unknown. This is because MXE is a research chemical with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried MXE within the psychedelic community confirm that there do not seem to be any negative health effects attributed to simply trying this drug at low to moderate doses or using it sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

MXE ~~does not seem~~ to ~~physically addictive,~~ but can ~~become habit-forming as there is no real~~ tolerance ~~attributed~~ to ~~this drug~~, ~~meaning that~~ it ~~could potentially be used multiple days in~~ a ~~row if somebody chooses~~ to do so. There have been multiple reports across the internet of people becoming seriously addicted daily users of this substance so serious precautions and considerations should be taken before trying this substance.

==Tolerance and Addiction Potential==

In terms of MXE tolerance, this can take weeks to build up for some but for others it can take a single night of heavy use. Once a physical tolerance to MXE has set itself in, it can often take a month or more to reset itself.

Reports of compulsive redosing during high dose trips resulting in over doses have also been reported. This can be prevented by keeping ~~your~~ MXE far away from ~~you~~ when tripping and addiction can be avoided by manually limiting ~~your~~ usage of the drug. It’s worth noting however that ~~just~~ as with most hallucinogens, most users note that the desire to use them can actually decrease with use.

MXE has a fairly high potential to be abused. It does not seem to physically addictive, but can become habit-forming as there is no real tolerance attributed to this drug, meaning that it could potentially be used multiple days in a row if somebody chooses to do so. There have been multiple reports across the internet of people becoming seriously addicted daily users of this substance so serious precautions and considerations should be taken before trying this substance.

In terms of its long term health effects when used repeatedly and with excess for extended periods of time, MXE seems to exhibit almost identical bladder and urinary tract problems to those found within ketamine but to a lesser extent. This is because MXE is 4 times as potent as ketamine so significantly less of drug needs to be consumed. Symptoms of Ketamine cystitis can become extremely serious and can described as,

Reports of compulsive redosing during high dose trips resulting in over doses have also been reported. This can be prevented by keeping MXE far away from oneself when tripping and addiction can be avoided by manually limiting ones usage of the drug. It’s worth noting however that as with most [[hallucinogens]], most users note that the desire to use them can actually decrease with use.

==Urinary tract effects==

In terms of its long term health effects, when used repeatedly and with excess for extended periods of time, MXE seems to exhibit almost identical bladder and urinary tract problems to those found within ketamine but to a lesser extent. This is because MXE is 4 times as potent as ketamine so significantly less of drug needs to be consumed. Symptoms of Ketamine cystitis can become extremely serious and can described as,

*'''urinary frequency''' - a need to empty your bladder every few minutes.

All of these however can easily be avoided by simply not using MXE on a daily or even weekly basis and manually limiting your usage of the substance.

~~==Lethal Dosage==~~

~~There is currently no data for the LD<sub>50</sub> of MXE in humans.~~
