~~In low doses, it~~ is considered to be a useful and effective [[nootropic]] for performing tasks or general productivity of any sort.{{citation needed}} At higher dosages, however, it becomes dysfunctional and recreational due to the ~~intensity of its [[euphoria]] and [[stimulation]].{{citation needed}} The~~ first ~~4 - 5~~ hours of 4-FA present distinct [[entactogen~~|entactogenia~~]] that ~~feels~~ somewhat similar to MDMA although not quite as powerful.

It is commonly reported that the first three to four hours of 4-FA present distinct [[entactogen]]ic effects that has been reported as feeling somewhat similar to MDMA although not quite as powerful. This is thought to correlate with the duration in which it is promoting the release of [[serotonin]] (in addition to [[dopamine]] and [[norepinephrine]]. After this first phase of the experience, the effect then shifts towards something which feels like classic [[amphetamine]] stimulation which can persist for an extended period of time.{{citation needed}}

'''Do not use 4-FA if you have a history of heart-related issues or experience severe headache after its use.''' We have been made aware of a report released by Trimbos-instituut<ref>https://www.trimbos.nl/</ref> and Nationaal Vergiftigingen Informatie Centrum<ref>https://www.vergiftigingen.info/</ref> (NVIC), describing incidents of strokes after an increased use of 4-FA. In addition to the common amphetamine-like effects (agitation, anxiety, tachycardia, hypertension, chest pain et al.), serious cardio- and cerebrovascular complications have been reported, including rhythm (sinus arrhythmia, ventricular extrasystoles (bigeminy), conduction disturbances) and acute cardiac failure. Although a causal relationship has not been confirmed, when presented with a severe headache and lateralization after 4-FA usage, a medical evaluation at an emergency department should be conducted immediately. <ref>https://psychonautwiki.org/wiki/File:Behandeling-4-fa-intoxicatie.pdf</ref>
