Background
First experience with 3-FMA, with one prior experience with amphetamines and a regular prescription for a Methylphenidate derivative (heavier than Ritalin in slow release, taken every couple of days) for my ADHD. I hadn't taken any for a week prior to taking 3-FMA A lot of experiences with Mushrooms and LSD, and a few other with different substances as a one-off. Taking 3-FMA was part of a similar one-off experience to see what this RC could do. Setting was at my GFs. Both of them stayed mostly sober (they smoked some weed later on) as they were tripsitting.
Timeline
T+ 0:00 Ingested 50mg of 3-FMA. Somewhat early in the evening (7pm). My research made me believe that the drug's full effect would last for about 6h, then wane down. I would prove to be mistaken. I had eaten an heavy lunch and felt excited to try 3-FMA. Throughout the experience I've made sure to keep hydrating recently.
T+ 0:30 - Onset My Girlfriend L was showing me "Bomb Rush Cyberfunk" and we passed the controller while I was waiting for the drug to take effect. After roughly 30 minutes I could feel the slight buzz of the amphetamines working through my body, a very faint clarity as well as an energy boost, akin to having drank a couple of espresso.
T+ 1:00 - Plateau I went to talk and cuddle with my girlfriend N in the other room, the effect of the drugs felt faint physically, and I couldn't pinpoint any mental effect, but We did talked very emotionally while cuddling. At that point I noticed a slight sensory sharpness. Touching things felt more vivid than usual.
T+ 3:00 I was slightly disappointed in the drug, wondering if I had taken too small of a dose. I'm more used to psychedelics with very "impressive" trips, this felt like a dud at the time. We watched an episode of a TV show, then I moved to the bedroom with L. She had vaped some HHC at the time, and I took a couple of hits, nothing too strong. The experience felt more intensive than usual. Getting hard was complicated and most of the time was spent fisting her and using toys.
T+ 4:30 - Peak? I moved back to the living room with N, while L went to bed as she had work early the next day. I felt energized, and was starting to realize that the effects while hard to pindown were definitely strong enough. At that point I had noticed that controlling my muscles had become harder. I would grip, push and move putting a bit more strain on myself that I ought to. I sad down in the couch and proceeded to talk with N for 5 hours, pretty much uninterrupted, talking to her about my life up to now and being able to remember a lot of memories with more accuracy than I usually can. That burst of social energy, seemingly unstoppable was extremely enjoyable. At around 4:30AM I decided to move back to the bedroom, to let N sleep, and to try to get some shut eye too. Even though I didn't felt tired at all.
T+ 10 - Plateau At that point I was in bed, on my phone, realizing that I had NO need to sleep. My body felt wired and strong, I simply read some ebooks for a few hours, feeling good but slightly frustrated at myself: I knew I'd be hit hard by the aftereffects once the drug would wear off.
T+ 12:00 - come down L woke up next to me, and I explained to her I hadn't slept and still felt full of energy. I grabbed her breakfast before she left for work, At that point I could still feel a lot of energy in me, but I could feel that my body wasn't having it. muscles started to feel sore and I could feel the physical effect of light sleep deprivation, but not the mental ones.
T+ 14 - end By that time N had woken up too. I had done some chores, I could feel that most of the effects had stopped by then. My body slowly reminding me of the cost 3-FMA would have. The only aftereffects seemed to be caused by the lack of sleep itself, as far as I can tell.
Opinion
As someone who mainly enjoys Psychedelics, this was a fun experience, but not one that I would try to have again. I do not see a primary re-creative use for 3-FMA for myself, but I could see myself using it as a tool, if I had to do a sleepless night anyway. Next time I go to a festival, I'll remember that this drug could be useful for it.
