This allows dopamine and norepinephrine to accumulate within the reward pathways in the brain, resulting in stimulating and euphoric effects. According to a recent study, 4-FMPH is about as effective as methylphenidate as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI), but is approximately three times as effective at inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine as its parent compound. | ||
