The two substances are believed to have very similar core pharmacological mechanisms but have been reported as displaying distinctive subjective effects that is thought to correspond to their differing binding efficacies and [[monoamine]] reuptake inhibition ratios (in a manner similar to [[4F-MPH]]) but with distinctly more activity on serotonin than other, more typical methylphenidate analogs.{{citation needed}} | The two substances are believed to have very similar core pharmacological mechanisms but have been reported as displaying distinctive subjective effects that is thought to correspond to their differing binding efficacies and [[monoamine]] reuptake inhibition ratios (in a manner similar to [[4F-MPH]]) but with distinctly more activity on serotonin than other, more typical methylphenidate analogs.{{citation needed}} | ||

This is because methylnaphthidate is a [[research chemical]] with very little history of human usage. Anecdotal evidence from people who have tried methylnaphthidate suggests that there are no negative health effects attributed to simply trying the substance by itself at low to moderate doses and using it very sparingly (but nothing can be completely guaranteed).

In terms of its tolerance, methylnaphthidate can be used multiple days in a row for extended periods of time, but acute tolerance does exist and builds up gradually over repeated extended use. This results in the user requiring an increase in dosage to achieve the same effects. | In terms of its tolerance, methylnaphthidate can be used multiple days in a row for extended periods of time, but acute tolerance does exist and builds up gradually over repeated extended use.
