How Addictive Is Adrenochrome?
The compound has several effects on the human brain. Ingestion of this drug can give a mental high like no other, but may cause other psychotic reactions like hallucinations and even cause schizophrenia in some cases.
In fact, Adrenochrome is as addictive as heroin. There are risks to this drug if engaged in recreational use; your own adrenaline production completely shutting down through homeostasis and negative feedback loops.
What this means is that if a constant supply of Adrenochrome isn’t administered and someone decides to come off it cold turkey, you will have very severe withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms that are far worse than that of alcohol, hard core drugs, opiate, or benzodiazepine withdrawals. (1)
