Everything You Need to Know About 4 Fluoromethylphenidate (4F-MPH)

Often referred to as 4F-MPH, 4-fluoromethylphenidate is a new synthetic stimulant of the phenidate family that, when taken, has euphoric and stimulating effects that continue for a long time. Known by the commercial names Ritalin and Concerta, it is a structurally similar substance to methylphenidate, which is frequently recommended for ADHD.

Though their pharmacological processes are thought to be quite similar to those of monoamine reuptake inhibitors, the two drugs have been shown to exhibit different subjective effects, with 4F-MPH being thought to be far more euphoric and recreational.

According to anecdotal reports, it is far more effective and has less unpleasant side effects, including obsessive redosing, anxiety, and muscular spasms.  This may be because it has been demonstrated to function as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor with more efficacy than methylphenidate, the parent molecule.
