EffectsPsychonautWikiEffectIndex
Visual
1Visual acuity suppression
Acuity suppression is the degradation of the sharpness and clarity of one's vision, resulting in vision becoming partially to completely blurred and indistinct. This effect is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of depressant and dissociative compounds, such as alcohol, quetiapine, ketamine, and DXM.

2Physical 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.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Respiratory depression
Respiratory depression can be described as a reduced urge to breathe that can be fatal depending on its intensity. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of depressant compounds, particularly opioids, such as heroin and fentanyl, or GABAergics, such as alcohol and GHB. However, it is worth noting that otherwise safe dosages of these compounds can become fatal when combined with even small amounts of other classes of depressant.

8Decreased blood pressure
Decreased blood pressure can be described as a condition in which the pressure in the systemic arteries is decreased to abnormal levels. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of GABAergic depressant compounds, such as benzodiazepines and barbiturates.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Decreased 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↗Dizziness
Dizziness can be described as the perception of a spinning or swaying motion which typically causes a difficulty in standing or walking. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of GABAergic depressant compounds, such as benzodiazepines, alcohol, and GHB.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Motor control loss
Motor control loss can be described as feeling as if there has been a distinct decrease in a person's ability to control their physical body with precision, balance, coordination, and dexterity. Motor control loss is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as sedation and disinhibition. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of GABAergic depressant compounds, such as, alcohol, benzodiazepines, GHB, and phenibut.
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↗Pain relief
Pain relief can be described as an effect which suppresses negative sensations such as aches and pains. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of a very wide variety of compounds, such as opioids, GABAergics, GABApentinoids, cannabinoids, dissociatives, muscle relaxants, and NSAID's.
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.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Seizure suppression
Seizure suppression is an effect caused by drugs known as "anticonvulsants". These drugs prevent or reduce the severity and frequency of seizures in various types of epilepsy. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of certain GABAergic compounds and certain cannabinoids.

10Amnesia
Amnesia is a global impairment in the ability to acquire new memories regardless of sensory modality, and a loss of some memories, especially recent ones, from the period before amnesia began. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of GABAergic depressants, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, GHB, and zolpidem.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Analysis suppression
Analysis suppression is a distinct decrease in a person's overall ability to process information and logically or creatively analyze concepts, ideas, and scenarios. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of antipsychotic compounds, and is associated with long term use of such drugs like quetiapine, haloperidol, and risperidone.
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↗Cognitive euphoria
Cognitive euphoria (semantically the opposite of cognitive dysphoria) is medically recognized as a cognitive and emotional state in which a person experiences intense feelings of well-being, elation, happiness, excitement, and joy. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of opioids, entactogens, stimulants, and GABAergic depressants. However, it can also occur to a lesser extent under the influence of hallucinogenic compounds such as psychedelics, dissociatives, and cannabinoids.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Compulsive redosing
Compulsive redosing is the experience of a powerful and difficult to resist urge to continuously redose a psychoactive substance in an effort to increase or maintain the subjective effects which it induces. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of a wide variety of compounds, such as opioids, stimulants, GABAergics, and entactogens.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Delusion
A delusion is a false idea or belief that is held with strong conviction and subjective certainty and is inconsistent with an individual’s educational, cultural and social background. Delusions are most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of hallucinogenic compounds, such as psychedelics, deliriants, and dissociatives.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Disinhibition
Disinhibition is medically recognized as an orientation towards immediate gratification, leading to impulsive behavior driven by current thoughts, feelings, and external stimuli, without regard for past learning or consideration of future consequences. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of GABAergic depressants, such as alcohol, benzodiazepines, phenibut, and GHB.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Emotion suppression
Emotion suppression (also known as flat affect, apathy, or emotional blunting) is medically recognized as a flattening or decrease in the intensity of one's current emotional state below normal levels. It is most commonly induced under the influence of moderate dosages of antipsychotic compounds, such as quetiapine, haloperidol, and risperidone.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Language suppression
Language suppression is the decreased ability to use and understand speech. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of antipsychotic compounds, such as quetiapine, haloperidol, and risperidone.
Open full explainer on EffectIndex↗Thought deceleration
Thought deceleration is the process of thought being slowed down significantly in comparison to that of normal sobriety. It is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of depressant compounds, such as GABAergics, antipsychotics, and opioids.
