5-APDI (IAP) is a potent but weakly selective serotonin-releasing agent with IC50 values of 82 nM for serotonin, 1,848 nM for dopamine, and 849 nM for norepinephrine. Users report empathogenic warmth, mental stimulation, and occasionally mild visuals, but also pronounced body-load including hyperthermia, profuse sweating, bowel urgency, bruxism, and insomnia. Onset is slow; premature redosing has produced serotonin syndrome-like reactions. Cardiovascular stress and unpredictable individual response make conservative titration and external temperature control essential. Milligram-scale weighing and reagent testing are strongly advised.
