{{SubstanceBox/3-FPM}}

'''3'-Fluorophenmetrazine''' or '''3-FPM''' is a short-lived [[stimulant]] drug of the [[phenethylamine]] variety which has recently been made available online. The chemical had no history of human use prior to 2014 when it began being sold online through [[research chemical]] vendors. The drug is considered to be more subtle in its effects when compared to other stimulants and produces less nervousness, euphoria, and insomnia than drugs of the [[substituted amphetamine]] class.

==Chemistry==

3-FPM is a fluorinated derivative of phenmetrazine (Preludin). It contains a [[phenethylamine]] skeleton in which the terminal amine is incorporated into a morpholine ring. This morpholine ring is a heterocyclic ring containing an amino and ether functional groups.

==Pharmacology==

3-FPM is a sympathomimetic drug which has stimulant effects when consumed. Its mechanism of action appears to function by acting as [[releasing agent]] for [[dopamine]], [[serotonin]], and [[norepinephrine]] in the central nervous system. This accumulation of [[neurotransmitters]] results in the experience of euphoric and stimulating effects. It has a higher affinity for all three types of receptor when compared to [[methylphenidate]]. Its parent compound, phenmetrazine, was previously used as an appetite suppressant, but has since been withdrawn from the market.

==Subjective effects==

The effects listed below are based upon the [[subjective effects index]] and personal experiences of [[PsychonautWiki]] [[PsychonautWiki#Contributors|contributors]]. The listed effects will rarely if ever occur all at once but heavier dosages will increase the chances and are more likely to induce a full range of effects.                                                                             

===Physical Effects===

The physical effects of 3-FPM can be broken down into several components all of which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. These are described below and generally include:  

*'''[[Effect::Stimulation]]''' - In terms of its effects on the physical energy levels of the user, 3-FPM is usually considered to be mildly to moderately energetic and stimulating in a fashion that is considerably weaker in comparison to that of traditional recreational stimulants such as [[substituted amphetamines]], [[MDMA]] or [[cocaine]]. This encourages physical activities such as performing chores and repetitive tasks which would otherwise be boring and strenuous physical activities.

*'''[[Effect::Increased heart rate]]''' In comparison to other stimulants such as [[amphetamine]] or [[cocaine]],  3-FPM only has a mild effect on one's heart rate.

*'''[[Effect::Appetite suppression]]'''  The above components are also accompanied by a suppression of appetite which is usually much less intense in strength in comparison to the appetite suppression experienced with [[amphetamine]] or [[methamphetamine]].

*'''[[Temperature regulation loss]]'''
