All oral dose values carried forward from existing DB community consensus. No published dose-finding studies exist for methylnaphthidate. One self-report at 34.8 mg oral described effects as 'mild stimulant' — consistent with common-to-strong range. Dose values are safety-critical and unverified by controlled study.

Acute and chronic toxicity rated moderate per work-notes, inferred entirely from DAT/NET/SERT reuptake inhibitor pharmacological class and methylphenidate structural analogy. Cardiovascular risk (hypertension, tachycardia, arrhythmia, vasoconstriction), CNS excitotoxicity (seizure risk), and thermoregulatory disruption (hyperthermia) are the primary inferred organ systems. Absence of case reports likely reflects low prevalence, not low risk. Evidence discount applied: class-inferred data warrants low confidence.

Dose Tier Summaries

thresholdtrace
low

Barely perceptible stimulation emerges at approximately 4 mg oral. A subtle increase in alertness and wakefulness may be noticed, but effects can be indistinguishable from placebo for many individuals. No significant mood alteration or focus enhancement is expected. Physical effects are minimal — slight elevation in heart rate may occur but is typically imperceptible. Appetite may be marginally reduced. No meaningful functional impairment or sleep disruption is expected at this level. This dose serves primarily as a sensitivity test. Individual response varies; some users may notice nothing at all.

Evidence basis: community_consensus_large

lighttrace
low

Mild stimulation with recognizable phenidate-class character. Focus enhancement and thought acceleration become noticeable, accompanied by modest appetite suppression and increased wakefulness. Mood may shift slightly positive, though distinct euphoria is unlikely at this level. Oral doses range 10–15 mg; insufflated 4–8 mg. Physical effects include mild cardiovascular activation — slightly elevated heart rate and subtle vasoconstriction. Dry mouth and mild dehydration sensation may appear. Insufflated administration produces faster onset (3–6 minutes vs. up to 10 minutes oral) with a compressed duration. Sleep may be mildly disrupted if taken in the evening. Functional impairment is minimal; most users remain fully operational.

Editorial

Light dose ranges from existing DB (oral 10–15 mg, insufflated 4–8 mg). Effects inferred from phenidate class and methylphenidate analogy. No controlled human data. Work-notes outline expanded with substance-specific texture.

Evidence basis: community_consensus_large

commontrace
low

Clear stimulant effects dominate — sustained focus enhancement, motivation enhancement, and thought acceleration are pronounced. Appetite suppression becomes significant. The SERT component may contribute mild mood elevation with possible entactogen-adjacent warmth not typical of purely catecholaminergic phenidates. Time alteration — typically perceived acceleration — may be noticed. Oral doses range 15–30 mg; insufflated 8–14 mg. Cardiovascular effects become noticeable: elevated heart rate, mild abnormal heartbeat awareness, and vasoconstriction. Bruxism, dry mouth, and dehydration sensation emerge. Pupil dilation is likely. Excessive sweating may occur with physical activity. Insomnia is expected if dosed within 6–8 hours of intended sleep. The offset phase brings cognitive fatigue, mild irritability, and reduced motivation as dopaminergic rebound begins.

Evidence basis: community_consensus_large

strongtrace
low

Pronounced stimulation with significant euphoria and marked cognitive drive. Focus enhancement may paradoxically shift toward cognitive impairment at the upper end of this range as overstimulation disrupts organized thought. Compulsive redosing urge intensifies — non-human primate data shows reinforcing efficacy equal to cocaine. Restlessness and anxiety become more likely. Oral doses range 30–50 mg; insufflated 14–28 mg. Cardiovascular effects are prominent: tachycardia, hypertension, and noticeable vasoconstriction. Bruxism intensifies. Appetite suppression is near-complete. Excessive sweating, trembling, and temperature dysregulation may occur. Pupil dilation is marked. Insomnia is virtually certain for 6+ hours post-dose. The post-acute phase brings depression, irritability, cognitive fatigue, and motivation suppression as monoamine stores are depleted.

Editorial

Strong dose ranges from existing DB (oral 30–50 mg, insufflated 14–28 mg). Compulsive redosing risk supported by Lile et al. 2003 NHP reinforcing efficacy data (HDMP-28 = cocaine = methylphenidate). Effects escalation pattern inferred from stimulant class.

Evidence basis: community_consensus_large

heavytrace
low

Intense, potentially overwhelming stimulation with high risk of adverse effects. Anxiety and paranoia may dominate the experience. Psychotic symptoms — paranoid ideation, peripheral misidentification — become possible with sustained dosing at this level. Cognitive impairment replaces enhancement. Compulsive redosing urge is severe. Oral doses exceed 50 mg; insufflated exceeds 28 mg. Cardiovascular strain is significant: pronounced tachycardia, hypertension, vasoconstriction, and risk of arrhythmia. Hyperthermia risk increases, especially with physical exertion. Bruxism may cause jaw pain. Sleep is impossible for an extended period — wakefulness persists well beyond the subjective stimulant effects. The post-acute rebound is severe: depression, anhedonia, physical fatigue, and cognitive slowing may persist for 12–24+ hours. This dose range carries meaningful acute medical risk with no established safety margin.

Editorial

Heavy dose ranges from existing DB (oral 50+ mg, insufflated 28+ mg). Adverse effect escalation inferred from DAT/NET/SERT reuptake inhibitor class. No LD50 data in any species; no human adverse event case reports. All safety characterization is class-inferred.
