==Subjective effects==

In comparison to its predecessor ([[A-PVP]]), this compound ~~induces~~ considerably less anxiety, uncomfortable side effects, euphoria, and ~~psychosis~~.

In comparison to its predecessor ([[A-PVP]]), this compound has been reported as inducing considerably less anxiety, uncomfortable side effects, euphoria, psychosis and having a slightly softer comedown.

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[Special:TopUsers|contributors]].

These are described below and include:

===Physical effects===

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' - The "body high" of α-PHP can be described as a moderate to extreme euphoric tingling sensation that encompasses the entire body. It is capable of becoming overwhelming at higher dosages. This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, α-PHP can be considered to be extremely stimulating and energetic, although less so than with [[A-PVP]]. This encourages activities such as running, climbing and dancing, although it can also encourage just sitting immobile engaged in repetitive tasks. The particular style of stimulation which α-PHP presents can be described as forced. This means that at higher dosages it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in an extreme unsteadiness of the hands and a general lack of motor control.

*'''[[Effect::Vibrating vision]]''' - A person's eyeballs may begin to spontaneously wiggle back and forth in a rapid motion, causing vision to become blurry and temporarily out of focus-- a condition known as nystagmus.

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Visual acuity suppression]]''' - α-PHP can have visual and vision-impairing effects that can lend readily to peripheral hallucinations.

*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]''' - α-PHP has been noted as enhancing focus, but in a way that leaves the user totally fixated on whatever task at hand, however trivial.

*'''[[Effect::Sublingual numbing]]''' - In a similar fashion to that of cocaine]] this compound numbs the areas of the body which it touches, these areas can include the nostrils, gums, mouth and urethra of the user.

===Negative physical side effects===

*'''[[Effect::Abnormal heartbeat]]''' - Due to the potency of its rush, α-PHP can cause various uncomfortable or painful sensations in the heart, especially when abused or used for extended periods. Those with familial or personal heart issues are discouraged from using this drug in its most potent forms.

*'''[[Effect::Dehydration]]''' - Dry mouth and dehydration are a universal experience with α-PHP and are a product of an increased heart rate, adrenergic activity and the motivation to engage in strenuous physical activities. While it is important to avoid becoming dehydrated, especially when out dancing in a hot environment, there is a potential possibility of suffering from water intoxication through over-drinking. Therefore it is advised that users simply sip at water and be mindful of their water in-take.

*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Decreased heart rate]]''' - Although [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathomimetic_drug sympathomimetic] cathinones like α-PHP typically raise one's heart rate and blood-pressure, it is possible to experience the reverse, sometimes triggering sudden fainting spells. While the cause is not yet well understood, it seems this happens less commonly in healthy individuals .

*'''[[Effect::Difficulty urinating]]''' - Higher doses of α-PHP result in an overall difficulty when it comes to urination, an effect that is temporary and typically harmless.

*'''[[Effect::Headaches]]''' - This typically can occur towards the end of the experience, but can sometimes happen during one as well.

*'''[[Effect::Increase blood pressure]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Increased perspiration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Muscle spasms]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Restless leg syndrome]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Vasoconstriction]]''' - α-PHP can be considered very vasoconstricting at higher doses, and is on par with that of [[amphetamine]] and [[methamphetamine]].

*'''[[Effect::Tactile enhancement]]''' - α-PHP can enhance one's sense of touch to extreme degrees, often leading to states of sexual arousal.

*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Increased perspiration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Visual acuity suppression]]''' - α-PHP can have visual and vision-impairing effects that can lend readily to peripheral hallucinations.

*'''[[Effect::Focus enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Teeth grinding]]''' - This component can be considered to be less intense when compared with that of [[MDMA]], though becomes more present at high doses.

*'''[[Effect::~~Sublingual numbing~~]]''' - ~~In a similar fashion to that of cocaine]] this compound numbs~~ the ~~areas of the body which~~ it ~~touches, these areas can include the nostrils, gums, mouth and urethra of the user~~.

*'''[[Effect::Seizure]]''' - α-PHP may lower the seizure threshold in some individuals, especially when it is abused.

===Cognitive effects===

The cognitive effects of α-PHP can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The ample head space of α-PHP is described by many as one of extreme mental stimulation and ~~great~~ euphoria. It contains a large number of typical [[Stimulants|stimulant]] cognitive effects.

The cognitive effects of α-PHP can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The ample head space of α-PHP is described by many as one of extreme mental stimulation and powerful euphoria. It contains a large number of typical [[Stimulants|stimulant]] cognitive effects, particularly those of the [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] or [[Substituted pyrovalerone|pyrovalerone]] classes of drugs.

The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Analysis enhancement]]''' - Users report that this effect typically only occurs at low doses, and becomes increasingly more impairing as one increases their intake.

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - A euphoria very similar to amphetamine is present as well as feelings of joy and happiness ~~and~~ are likely a direct result of serotonin and dopamine release.

*'''[[Effect::Cognitive euphoria|Euphoria]]''' - A euphoria very similar to [[amphetamine]] or [[cocaine]] is present as well as feelings of joy and happiness which are likely a direct result of serotonin and dopamine release.

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

*'''[[Effect::Ego inflation]]''' - Similar to the ego inflation of [[cocaine]] or [[methamphetamine]], α-PHP can temporarily induce states of egomania at its peak.

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

*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]''' - While a high tendency to compulsive redose is a hallmark of this class of drug, α-PHP has been reported as being slightly less compulsive than its predecessor α-PVP. Nevertheless, users are advised to use extreme caution in not losing control when on this drug.

*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]

*'''[[Effect::Immersion enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::~~Time distortion~~]]''' - ~~Strong feelings of time compression are common within~~ α-PHP ~~and increase in the perception~~ of ~~perceived experience is greatly increased.~~

*'''[[Effect::Increased libido]]''' - α-PHP, like its predecessor α-PVP can induce states of extreme sexual arousal due to its powerful disinhibiting effects

*'''[[Effect::Ego inflation]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]

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

*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]'''

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

*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Psychosis]]''' - This compound may induce psychosis if it is binged upon for prolonged periods of time. ~~THe~~ likelihood of psychosis on this compound ~~is however considerably~~ less than that of [[A-PVP]].

*'''[[Effect::Motivation enhancement]]''' - This effect provides short-lived states of extreme motivation, but due to the cognitively narrowing aspects of its action, rarely ever translates into productive action.

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

*'''[[Effect::Time distortion]]''' - Strong feelings of time compression are common within α-PHP and increase in the perception of perceived experience is greatly increased

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

*'''[[Effect::Feelings of impending doom]]''' - This typically is experienced when the drug is abused, but can happen at higher than needed doses, or the comedowns of binges. It can also happen spontaneously, although this tends to be rare.

*'''[[Effect::Paranoia]]''' - α-PHP can lead to states of extreme paranoia when abused or dosed too highly, which is why eyeballing this substance is strongly discouraged. The paranoia this compound produces shares many features of the paranoia that can be induced by [[methamphetamine]] or [[cocaine]], and typically happens while coming down.

*'''[[Effect::Psychosis]]''' - This compound may induce psychosis if it is binged upon for prolonged periods of time. The likelihood of psychosis on this compound has been reported to be noticeably less than that of [[A-PVP]].

==Tactile enhancements===

*'''[[Effect::Tactile enhancement]]''' - α-PHP can enhance one's sense of touch to extreme degrees, often leading to states of sexual arousal.

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' - The "body high" of α-PHP can be described as a moderate to extreme euphoric tingling sensation that encompasses the entire body. It is capable of becoming overwhelming at higher dosages. This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

*'''[[Effect::Drifting]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Visual acuity suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Hallucinatory states]]'''

==Hallucinatory states===

*'''[[Effect::Peripheral information misinterpretation]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Scenarios and plots]]'''

==Auditory effects===

*'''[[Effect::Auditory distortion]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Auditory hallucinations]]'''
