Melatonin
Overview
A naturally occurring hormone produced in the body that promotes sleep at certain times in the day based on the circadian rhythm. It is commonly available as a drug to treat insomnia and to promote a healthier sleep cycle. It is sometimes used to promote sleepfulness at the tail-end of drug experiences, though it is reported to be not particularly hypnotic.

EffectsPsychonautWikiEffectIndex
Cognitive
6Anxiety
Anxiety is medically recognized as the experience of negative feelings of apprehension, worry, and general unease. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of hallucinogenic compounds, such as cannabinoids, psychedelics, dissociatives, and deliriants
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Anxiety suppression
Anxiety suppression (also known as anxiolysis or minimal sedation) is medically recognized as a partial to complete suppression of a person’s ability to feel anxiety, general unease, and negative feelings of both psychological and physiological tension. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of anxiolytic compounds which primarily include GABAergic depressants, such as benzodiazepines, alcohol, GHB, and gabapentinoids.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Depersonalization
Depersonalization is medically recognized as the experience of feeling detached from one's mental processes, body, or actions as if they are an outside observer. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of dissociative compounds, such as ketamine, PCP, and DXM.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Dream potentiation
Dream potentiation is an effect that increases the subjective intensity, vividness, and frequency of sleeping dream states. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of oneirogenic compounds, a class of hallucinogen that is used to specifically potentiate dreams when taken before sleep.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Irritability
Irritability is medically recognized as the pervasive and sustained emotional state of being easily annoyed and provoked to anger. It is most commonly induced during the after effects of heavy dosages of stimulant compounds, such as cocaine, methamphetamine, and methylphenidate.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Sleepiness
Sleepiness (also known as drowsiness) is medically recognized as a state of near-sleep, or a strong desire for sleep without feeling a decrease in one's physical energy levels. This state is independent of a circadian rhythm; so, unlike sedation, this effect does not necessarily decrease physical energy levels but instead decreases wakefulness. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of a wide variety of compounds such as cannabinoids, GABAergic depressants, opioids, antipsychotics, some antihistamines, and certain psychedelics.

1Physical euphoria
Physical euphoria can be described as feelings of pleasure and comfort within and across one's body. This euphoria typically feels somewhat comparable to the endorphin rushes felt during states of excitement or love, the coziness of a comfortable bed, and the rush of an orgasm. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of a wide variety of compounds, such as opioids, stimulants, psychedelics, and GABAergics.

4Decreased libido
Decreased libido can be described as a distinct decrease in feelings of sexual desire, the anticipation of sexual activity, and the likelihood that a person will view the context of a given situation as sexual in nature. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of a wide variety of compounds, such as, opioids, antipsychotics and SSRI's, and dissociatives.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Headache
A headache can be described as a pain anywhere in the region of the head or neck. It can be a symptom of a number of different conditions. They are most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of stimulating compounds, such as traditional stimulants, certain psychedelics, and certain dissociatives.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Muscle relaxation
Muscle relaxation can be described as the experience of muscles losing their rigidity or tenseness while becoming relaxed and comfortable. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of depressant compounds, such as various benzodiazepines, GABAergics, and opioids.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Sedation
Sedation can be described as a decrease in a person's physical energy levels which are interpreted as discouraging when it comes to wakefulness, movement, performing tasks, talkativeness, and general exercise. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of depressant compounds, such as opioids, GABAergics, and antipsychotics.
