Talk:4-FMC: Difference between revisions

'''Flephedrone''', also known as '''4-fluoromethcathinone''' ('''4-FMC'''), is a synthetic [[psychoactive class::stimulant]] drug of the [[amphetamine]] and [[Substituted cathinone|cathinone]] classes.

==Pharmacology==

Given its chemical structure, flephedrone is likely to act as a [[releasing agent]] and a [[reuptake inhibitor]] for monoamine [[neurotransmitters]] such as [[dopamine]], [[serotonin]] and [[noradrenaline]].

Flephedrone is likely to have a similar pharmacological profile to mephedrone.

==Subjective effects==

{{Preamble/SubjectiveEffects}}

*'''[[Effect::Spontaneous tactile sensations]]''' - The "body high" of flephedrone can be described as a moderate to extreme euphoric tingling sensation that encompasses the entire body. It is capable of becoming overwhelmingly pleasurable at higher dosages. This sensation maintains a consistent presence that steadily rises with the onset and hits its limit once the peak has been reached.

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the user's physical energy levels, flephedrone is commonly considered to be extremely stimulating and energetic. This encourages activities such as running, climbing and dancing. The particular style of stimulation which flephedrone presents can be described as forced. This means that at higher dosages it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still, as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in an extreme unsteadiness of the hands and a general lack of motor control.  

*'''[[Effect::Increased blood pressure]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Body odor alteration]]'''

The cognitive effects of flephedrone can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of mephedrone is described by many as one of extreme mental stimulation and powerful euphoria. It contains a large number of typical [[Stimulants|stimulant]] cognitive effects.  

*'''[[Effect::Increased libido]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Increased music appreciation]]'''

The effects which occur during the [[offset]] of a [[stimulant]] experience generally feel negative and uncomfortable in comparison to the effects which occurred during its [[peak]]. This is often referred to as a "comedown" and occurs because of [[neurotransmitter]] depletion. Its effects commonly include:

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought deceleration]]'''  

*'''[[Effect::Wakefulness]]'''
