3-fluorophenmetrazine

3-Fluorophenmetrazine (3-FPM) is a stimulant drug from the phenmetrazine family. It has been in use since around 2014 and is considered to have effects somewhere between those of amphetamine and cocaine.

Chemistry

3-Fluorophenmetrazine is a fluorinated analogue of phenmetrazine. Phenmetrazine is a phenethylamine derivative with a morpholine ring. The fluorination of the phenyl ring at the 3 position is believed to enhance the drug's potency.

Pharmacology

The exact mechanism of action of 3-fluorophenmetrazine is not well understood. It is believed to act as a norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI), blocking the reuptake of these neurotransmitters into the presynaptic neuron. This leads to an increase in the concentration of these neurotransmitters in the synaptic cleft, leading to increased stimulation of post-synaptic neurons.

Effects

The effects of 3-fluorophenmetrazine are reported to be similar to those of other stimulant drugs. These can include increased alertness, euphoria, increased energy, increased sociability, and decreased appetite. However, these effects can vary greatly between individuals and are dose-dependent.

Risks and Safety

Like other stimulant drugs, 3-fluorophenmetrazine carries a risk of overdose, which can result in severe health problems such as heart attack, stroke, or even death. It can also cause psychological effects such as anxiety, paranoia, and psychosis. Long-term use can lead to dependence and addiction.

Legal Status

The legal status of 3-fluorophenmetrazine varies by country. In some countries, it is a controlled substance, while in others it is legal to possess and use.
