Fluorexetamine

Fluorexetamine (also known as 4-Fluoromethamphetamine) is a stimulant of the amphetamine class that has been sold online as a designer drug. It is a derivative of methamphetamine and is reported to be potentially more potent.

Chemistry

Fluorexetamine is a substituted amphetamine which means it is a derivative of the parent compound amphetamine. It has a fluorine atom attached to the carbon of the phenyl ring. This substitution significantly alters the pharmacological properties of the compound.

Pharmacology

Fluorexetamine acts as a potent and selective serotonin releasing agent (SRA) with weaker effects on dopamine and norepinephrine transporters. However, the role of these interactions and how they result in the psychoactive effects of fluorexetamine is still not fully understood.

Effects

The effects of fluorexetamine can vary greatly depending on the dose taken. At lower doses, it can produce a mild stimulant effect similar to amphetamine. At higher doses, the effects can become more intense and can include euphoria, increased energy, increased sociability, and increased sexual desire.

Legal Status

Fluorexetamine is currently a legal grey area in many countries. It is not explicitly listed as a controlled substance in many jurisdictions, but it may be considered an analogue of other illegal amphetamines under certain analogue laws.

Safety

As with all stimulants, the use of fluorexetamine can lead to harmful side effects. These can include insomnia, anxiety, paranoia, and physical side effects such as increased heart rate and blood pressure. It is recommended that users take precautions to minimize potential harm.
