Methoxetamine, abbreviated as MXE, is a dissociative hallucinogen that has been sold as a designer drug.[5][6] It differs from many dissociatives such as ketamine and phencyclidine (PCP) that were developed as pharmaceutical drugs for use as general anesthetics in that it was designed specifically to increase the antidepressant effects of ketamine.[6][7]
