Empatogeny


Empathogens and entaktogens are the names of the same group of psychoactive substances that produce MDMA-specific emotional and social effects. Other substances included in this group are MDA, MDEA, MBDB, BDB, AET and 5-MeO-DALT. Sometimes the word empathogeny is used to describe a group of phenylethylamine derivatives "MDxx", but MDPV is only a stimulant. Empathogens are often confused with psychedelics and stimulants.

The term empathogeny was invented in 1983 by Ralph Metzner as a term for a group of psychoactive substances that induce feelings of empathy.

The spectrum of empathogens varies greatly from psychedelics like LSD to psilocybin and stimulants like amphetamine or methamphetamine. According to the relationships of the contributors to empathogens, they cause emotional openness and feelings of empathy and love. MDMA as a representative empathogen seems to have very similar pharmacological effects to methamphetamine. Both of these substances cause increased secretion of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain. However, MDMA significantly affects the serotonin economy, which may cause differences in the effects of these substances. It has also been reported that the combination of IAP, a substance that affects only serotonin levels, and amphetamine, which primarily affects the level of noradrenaline, has a very similar effect to MDA.
