Drug Interactions

alcohol

There is a high risk of memory loss, vomiting and severe ataxia from this combination.

Dangerous
amt
Dangerous
ghb/gbl

Both substances cause ataxia and bring a risk of vomiting and unconsciousness. If the individual falls unconscious while under the influence there is a severe risk of vomit aspiration if they are not placed in the recovery position.

Dangerous
opioids

This combination can potentiate the effects of the opioid

Dangerous
tramadol
Dangerous
dextromethorphan

There is a risk of serotonin syndrome when combining DXM with MXE, due to DXM and MXE both being SRI’s. MXE and DXM having notable affinities for the serotonin transporter.

Unsafe
maois

MAO-B inhibitors appear to increase the potency of MXE. MAO-A inhbitors have some negative reports associated with the combination but there isn't much information available

Unsafe
2c t x
Caution
amphetamines

Risk of tachycardia, hypertension, and manic states

Caution
benzodiazepines

Both substances potentiate the ataxia and sedation caused by the other and can lead to unexpected loss of consciousness at high doses. Place the affected individual in the recovery position to prevent vomit aspiration from excess.

Caution
cocaine

Stimulants taken with MXE can lead to hypermanic states much more easily, especially if sleep is avoided.

Caution
dox

As an NMDA antagonist MXE potentiates DOx which can be unpleasantly intense

Caution
mdma

There have been reports of risky serotonergic interactions when the two are taken at the same time, but MXE taken to the end of an MDMA experience does not appear to cause the same issues.

Caution
nbomes

As an NMDA antagonist MXE potentiates NBOMes which can be unpleasantly intense
