AMT is a synthetic psychedelic, stimulant, and entactogen of the tryptamine class. Originally developed by Upjohn in the 1960s, it was briefly prescribed as an antidepressant in the Soviet Union before being discontinued. Its effects are often described as a cross between classical psychedelics and MDMA, combining perceptual alterations with empathogenic and stimulant qualities. It also possesses weak, reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) activity.
