All about 4F-MPH: experiences, use and risks

What is 4F-MPH?

4F-MPH is also known as 4F-Ritalin because it is very similar to the drug Ritalin in terms of effects. However, 4F-MPH is a research chemical with stimulant effects, especially in terms of energy and focus. The RC falls under the fluorinated chemicals, substances that mimic the effects of amphetamines. However, 4F-MPH is less potent than the original amphetamines, such as Speed. 4F-Ritalin is best known in pellet form. Nowadays, however, crystals and powders are also available, so you can even snort the RC.

Difference between 4F-Ritalin and Ritalin

4F-MPH is similar to Ritalin, a drug for ADHD and other conditions that you only get on doctor's prescription. However, you need a smaller dose of 4F-MPH to achieve the beneficial effects of Ritalin. 4F-Ritalin also works longer, which often disrupts subjects' sleep as well.

4F-MPH effect

More research still needs to be done on the effects of 4F-MPH to say for sure how the substance works on the body. However, scientists believe that 4F-Ritalin causes the brain to block the uptake of neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and norepinephrine. This increases the levels of these neurotransmitters in the body, which could lead to increased energy levels, better focus and increased alertness. What has already emerged is that 4F-MPH works for a long time. The effects of this drug can last up to 12 hours, longer than the effects of Ritalin.

4F-MPH experiences

Little research has yet been done on 4F-Ritalin. The information that does exist comes from experience reports and online studies, but these show that many people have positive 4F-MPH experiences. This is due to beneficial effects, such as:

• Calming effect
• Reduced fussiness in the head
• Improved focus
• Improved performance
• Faster results
• Euphoric feelings
• Energy boost

Risks of 4F-Ritalin

Taking 4F-MPH can also bring unwanted effects and risks. Commonly reported negative experiences with 4F-MPH include nausea, headaches and palpitations. Moreover, due to the paucity of research, it is not possible to say with certainty what dosage is safe to take. In general, it is not recommended to take 4F-Ritalin with stimulants, such as alcohol, but this too cannot be said with certainty. There are other side effects associated with taking Ritalin, such as decreased appetite, depression and even suicidal thoughts. Further research will have to show whether this also applies to 4F-MPH.

Legality of 4F-MPH

Whereas Ritalin is banned when not obtained on doctor's prescription, 4F-MPH is still legal at the time of writing. However, it is a research chemical, which means the drug can only be used for research purposes and thus not recreational consumption. Moreover, the government is drafting a law to make 4F-MPH and other research chemicals illegal in one fell swoop.
