===Psychological reactions=== DMT may trigger psychological reactions, known colloquially as a "[[bad trip]]", such as intense fear, paranoia, anxiety, [[panic attacks]], and [[substance-induced psychosis]], particularly in predisposed individuals.<ref name="pmid29366418" /><ref name="pmid28868040">{{cite journal | title = Novel Psychoactive Substances-Recent Progress on Neuropharmacological Mechanisms of Action for Selected Drugs | journal = Front Psychiatry | pmid = 28868040 | vauthors = Zurina H, Oliver B, Darshan S, Suresh N, Vicknasingam K, Erich S, Johannes K, Borid Q, and Christian M | doi = 10.3389/fpsyt.2017.00152 | date = 18 August 2017 | volume = 8 | page = 152 | pmc = 5563308 | doi-access = free }}</ref>{{better citation needed|reason=Both of these references refer to ayahuasca; it's doubtful that DMT alone (smoked or by injection) actually lasts long enough for people with normal MAO levels to cause anything but brief fear at the worst due to the suddeness of the experience. These things are also considered part of the ayahuasca experience among other side effects DMT doesn't have by some and either better references are needed or this should be removed and kept on the ayahuasca article.|date=May 2025}}
