- The following table summarizes documented dihexa side effects across different research models, dosing protocols, and administration durations based on peer-reviewed preclinical research.
- Headache-like behavior
- 15–25% at >5mg/kg
- Decreases to 8–12%
- Rare (<5%)
- Strong. Threshold ~5mg/kg
- Transient adaptation effect; resolves without intervention
- Appetite suppression
- 10–15% at all doses
- 20–30% at >8mg/kg
- Stabilizes at baseline
- Moderate. Dose and duration
- Secondary to cognitive arousal; not metabolically mediated
- Hyperactivity
- 10–15% at >5mg/kg
- Decreases to <5%
- Rare
- Moderate. Diminishes with time
- Circadian adaptation occurs by day 10–12
- Anxiety-like behavior
- Rare (<3%)
- 8–12% daily protocols
- 12–18% without washout
- High. Frequency matters more than dose
- Preventable with intermittent dosing schedule
- Elevated liver enzymes
- Not observed
- 5–8% at >10mg/kg
- 8–12% at sustained high dose
- Strong. Threshold ~10mg/kg
- Reversible; no tissue damage documented
- Seizure susceptibility
- Documented only at >20mg/kg in predisposed models
- Very high. Far above research range
- Theoretical risk at extreme doses only
