Attempts at clearer description of the sensation often refer to feelings of restlessness, "internal vibration", and tension, and many people also report experiencing nausea along with, or as a part of, body load. In contrast, drug users, particularly those who have used entactogens like MDMA or synthetic phenethylamines (most notably 2C-B ) and tryptamines, also often report a "body high" or "body rush", which is similar to body load in many respects but is virtually always considered pleasant. Users also report that different drugs cause different body load sensations which vary in pleasantness, intensity, duration, et cetera. For example, 2C-B has been described by many users as having pleasant, aphrodisiac-like properties, while 2C-E, 2C-T-2, and several other phenethylamines and tryptamines are reported to cause unpleasant physical sensations regularly; users of these drugs ignore or disengage themselves from these sensations in order to focus on other effects, such as visual patterning, et cetera. The causes of the subjective experience of body load are unknown; however, one can reasonably speculate that it is caused by the action of the aforementioned drugs on serotonin receptor sites; serotonin is thought to mediate tactile sensation to some extent, and most psychedelics are thought to act on the serotonergic system of the brain in various ways.
