The drug produces strong side effects such as lightheadedness, dizziness, and vertigo at low doses that prevent hallucinogenic doses from being tolerated or used. It acts as a serotonin receptor modulator, including as an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. 5-MeO-DET produces psychedelic-like effects in animals.
