Talk:2-FMA: Difference between revisions

It's not that I don't believe it, but can anyone source the "emotionality suppression" effect for me? I find it a bit interesting that it would do that. And this can and ought to be subjective experience reports, since this is not something scientific literature will deal with, at least at this stage of scientific interest in 2-FMA. --[[User:Graatch|Graatch]] ([[User talk:Graatch|talk]]) 05:16, 14 August 2017 (CEST)

:Hello {{ping|~~@Gratch~~}}, thanks for weighing in. The "emotionality suppression" effect was included on grounds of the core pharmacology 2-FMA shares with amphetamine (and to a lesser extent, NDRIs like methylphenidate) as agents that promote synaptic concentrations of dopamine and norepinephrine. If you look up the effects reported for common ADHD stimulant medication like 'Adderall', 'Ritalin', 'Focalin', etc. you will see a number of people reporting this as a common effect.

:Interestingly, this seems to occur heterogeneously among the ADHD population, in which either amphetamine or MPH will cause this more or less depending on the person. The common factor between these reports is that while the initial stages of stimulant use correspond with increased mood and the enhancement of emotions (particularly positive ones that promote sociability), these reports appear to decrease among those who have been on the medication for an extended period and have presumably built tolerance to these aspects. A small sample of such can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/3wn9se/how_do_people_tolerate_the_emotional_blunting/ And more can be found if you browse various ADHD forums, or forums with threads on regular (if not necessarily abusive) stimulant use.
