Didn't have much time to do this, so it isn't finished. I will hopefully add more tomorrow after school.
The Basics
Introduction and Basic Description
AMT (alpha-Methyltryptamine) is a psychedelic/stimulant/entactogen first developed in the 1960s as an anti-depressant at Upjohn, a pharmaceutical firm based in Michigan. It was sold in 5mg and 10mg pills in the Soviet Union for medical purposes but gradually gained fame as a research chemical in the 1990s for its recreational potential.
Timeline of Experience
An oral dose of AMT takes between 30 and 120 minutes to come up with an onset of 30 to 120 minutes before hand although some users have reported to have an onset as long as 180 minutes. During this time users have been known to experience nausea ranging from a mild stomach ache to violent puking whereas others have a complete lack of nausea.
Due to the long time taken for the effects to develop, users have been known to redose thinking that nothing is happening. Please don't be tempted to do this as this could lead to bad experiences or potentially fatal overdoses.
AMT's peak lasts between 4 and 7 hours with reported stimulation, euphoric moood lift, CEVs (Closed Eye Visuals) and mild OEVs (Open Eye Visuals) usually taking the forms of patterns. Users have reported euphoric rushes similar to MDMA, albeit milder. Lower doses tend to be mainly stimulated, whereas the higher doses become more psychedelic.
The come down can last between 2 and 8 hours, usually with no after effects the next day although some people have said they have experienced a mood lift for a few days after their use.
Effects
The positive effects of AMT include stimulation, mood lift, visual patterning, CEVs, increase in awareness, heightened appreciation of music, and empathy.
AMT also comes with negative side effects such as anxiety/tension, nausea/headaches, decreased motor skills, aching muscles, jaw clenching, and confusion.

Dosages
An oral dose of AMT has been reported to be active in doses as low as 5mg which some users have used as a mood lifter throughout a day. Common doses for someone new to AMT would be 20-35mg which tends to have a more stimulating effect. From 40mg+ the psychedelic side becomes more apparent with 60mg+ tending to be a heavy dose.
When smoked a much smaller dosage should be used. Common doses are between 5mg and 10mg, any higher is seen as a strong dosage.
Method of administration
Oral
Insufflated
Rectal
Smoked (freebase)
Problems
Contraindications and Overdose
AMT is a mild MAOI, although it's inhibitor effects are low any users should be careful not to take tryptamine containing foods and monoamine releasing drugs. EDITOR NOTE: Not sure if this is the right term, would like a moderator to edit this to something more appropriate.
Negative Short-Term Side Effects
Sleep can sometimes be difficult on AMT, especially due to nausea and the time of the overall experience (usually longer than 12 hours). Other side effects include anxiety, jaw tension, and tachycardia.
Negative Long-Term Side Effects
As AMT is a serotonin releasing agent there may be a risk of serotonergic neurotoicity at high doses.
