History[edit | edit source]
Lefetamine was first synthesized in the 1940s by the Japanese company Dainippon Pharmaceutical. It was initially used as an analgesic and stimulant, but its use was later expanded to include the treatment of narcolepsy and other sleep disorders.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Lefetamine acts as a norepinephrine-dopamine releasing agent (NDRA), which means it increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the brain. This results in increased alertness, energy, and pain relief. However, it also has the potential to cause addiction and other serious side effects.

Legal status[edit | edit source]
