Although negative side effects are usually mild at low to moderate dosages, they become increasingly likely to manifest themselves with higher amounts or extended usage. This particularly holds true during the offset of the experience.

Although negative side effects are usually mild at low to moderate dosages, they become increasingly likely to manifest themselves with higher amounts or extended usage. This particularly holds true during the offset of the experience. An individual’s caffeine tolerance can also greatly compromise the strength of effect for theobromine since they both antagonize the same receptor subtype. The overall headspace is considered to be smoother, less ‘scatterbrained’, more euphoric and more empathetic compared to caffeine.

The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Analysis enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety]]''' - Unlike [[caffeine]], this component is usually only present during the onset but can actually be more intense when it does occur.

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - This effect, ~~when it occurs, is~~ generally mild compared to ~~the majority of psychoactive~~ [[stimulants]], and usually only occurs in those with low tolerance.

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria]]''' - This effect, although generally mild compared to most [[stimulants]], is considered to be qualitatively more pleasurable and much long-lasting than with caffeine. It usually only occurs in those with low tolerance.

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive dysphoria]]''' - This effect typically only occurs at high to extremely high dosages.

*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]''' - This component is most effective at low to moderate dosages as anything higher will usually impair concentration.

*'''[[Effect::Increased libido]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]''' - While ~~Theobromine~~ is capable of producing this effect, it does not do so as reliably as it does with traditional [[stimulants]] or [[entactogens]].

*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]''' - While theobromine is capable of producing this effect, it does not do so as reliably as it does with traditional [[stimulants]] or [[entactogens]].

*'''[[~~Effect::Irritability~~]]'''

*'''[[Empathy, affection and sociability enhancement]]''' - Even though theobromine is quite similar quantitatively in its level of strength and largely even its subjective flavor to caffeine, theobromine’s more palpable; albeit relatively subdued empathogenic qualities serves as the most significant and noticeable qualitative contrast between the two. In many ways, theobromine can essentially be thought of as “entactogenic caffeine”.

*'''[[Effect::Memory enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Motivation enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought acceleration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought acceleration]]''' This effect tends to feel less ‘speedy’ than caffeine, even when the caffeine is consumed through tea.

*'''[[Effect::Wakefulness]]'''
