Methylnaphthidate

Methylnaphthidate is a norepinephrinean alertness and 'fight-or-flight' neurotransmitter-dopaminethe brain's 'reward / worth-chasing' chemical; drives motivation and focus reuptake inhibitorsomething that blocks a neurotransmitter's recycling pump, leaving more of it around that binds the dopamine and norepinephrine transporters to raise synapticrelating to synapses, the connections between neurons levels of both, with the naphthalene ring giving it high affinity at the dopamine transporterthe pump that clears dopamine from the synapse; block it and more dopamine sticks around. Like other phenidates it works by blocking reuptake rather than triggering release. The strong dopamine grip underlies both its stimulating punch and its reinforcing character.
