Cardiovascular
- cardiovascular diseaserelative
uncontrolled hypertension, coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, heart failure
Pre-existing cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or conditions predisposing to arrhythmia. Acute tachycardia and blood pressure elevation are expected effects.
Neurological
- seizure disordersrelative
epilepsy, seizure disorder
History of epilepsy or other seizure disorders. Possible seizure threshold reduction, though substance-specific evidence is lacking.
Psychiatric
- psychotic disordersabsolute
schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, brief psychotic disorder
Personal or family history of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or other psychotic disorders. Psychedelics can trigger first-episode psychosis or exacerbate existing psychotic conditions.
- bipolar disorderabsolute
bipolar I disorder, bipolar II disorder
Personal history of bipolar I or bipolar II disorder. Risk of triggering manic, hypomanic, or mixed episodes.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
- pregnancyabsolute
pregnancy, breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding. No reproductive safety data exist. Serotonergic activity poses theoretical risk to fetal neurodevelopment.
Other
- concurrent tramadol useabsolute
Concurrent use of tramadol with 4-AcO-DMT is dangerous due to serotonin toxicity risk. Multiple fatalities have been documented from tramadol in combination with other serotonergic drugs.
- concurrent MAOI useabsolute
MAOI therapy
Concurrent use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) with 4-AcO-DMT significantly prolongs and intensifies effects and elevates serotonin toxicity risk. Both irreversible (phenelzine, tranylcypromine) and reversible (moclobemide) MAOIs are included.
