Contraindications

Cardiovascular

  • hypertensionrelative

    Uncontrolled hypertension or history of hypertensive crisis. αMT's monoamine releasing activity produces dose-dependent cardiovascular stimulation.

  • cardiac arrhythmiarelative

    History of cardiac arrhythmia or structural heart disease. The sustained cardiovascular stimulation over 13–15 hours represents prolonged cardiac stress.

Neurological

  • epilepsyrelative

    History of epilepsy or seizure disorders. Seizures have been documented in clinical toxicity reports of αMT.

Psychiatric

  • psychotic disordersabsolute

    Personal or family history of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or other psychotic spectrum disorders. 5-HT₂A agonists are established precipitants of psychotic episodes in vulnerable individuals.

  • bipolar disorderabsolute

    Personal or family history of bipolar I or II disorder. Both the psychedelic and stimulant components of αMT's mechanism can destabilise mood cycling.

Hepatic

  • hepatic impairmentrelative

    Significant hepatic impairment may alter αMT metabolism. Clinical significance is unknown due to absence of CYP isoform data.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

  • pregnancy and breastfeedingabsolute

    Pregnancy and breastfeeding are absolute contraindications in the absence of any reproductive safety data.

Other

  • concurrent serotonergic medicationabsolute

    Current use of any serotonergic medication including SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, lithium, triptans, tramadol, or St John's Wort. A washout period of at least 5 elimination half-lives of the serotonergic medication is required.
