{{Preamble/SubjectiveEffects}}

The physical effects of isopropylphenidate are often described as less uncomfortable and euphoric than [[ethylphenidate]]. They can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. These are described below and generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - Isopropylphenidate is usually considered to be energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is distinct but much weaker than that of [[amphetamine]] or [[methamphetamine]] and stronger than that of [[modafinil]] and [[caffeine]]. At lower to moderate doses, it encourages general productivity, but at higher dosages it encourages physical activities such as dancing, socializing, running, or cleaning. The particular style of stimulation which isopropylphenidate presents can be described as forced. This means that at higher doses, it becomes difficult or impossible to keep still as jaw clenching, involuntarily bodily shakes and vibrations become present, resulting in unsteadiness of the hands, shaking of the entire body and a general loss of motor control.

*'''[[Effect::Dehydration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Vasoconstriction]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Teeth grinding]]''' - This component can be considered to be less intense when compared with that of [[MDMA]].

The cognitive effects of isopropylphenidate can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of isopropylphenidate is described by many as one of mental stimulation, increased focus, and manageable euphoria. It contains a large number of typical [[stimulant]] cognitive effects. Although negative side effects are usually mild at low to moderate doses, they become increasingly likely to manifest themselves with higher amounts or extended usage. This particularly holds true during the offset of the experience.

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

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]]'''
