philopon


 * Philopon **

It is also called **Methamphetamine.** Philopon enters the brain and triggers a cascading release of dopamine and norepinephrine. It is highly active in the mesolimbic reward pathways of the brain, inducing intense euphoria, with a high potential for addiction. To a lesser extent, it releases serotonin and acts as a dopaminergic and adrenergic reuptake inhibitor, with higher concentrations serving as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Users may become hypersexual or obsessed with a task, thought or activity. Withdrawal is characterized by excessive sleeping, eating, and depression, often accompanied by anxiety and drug-craving. Methamphetamine users may take sedatives, such as benzodiazepines, as a means of easing their comedown, anxiety or difficulty sleeping. Philopon has medical uses as well as the potential to cause addiction. Methamphetamine addiction typically occurs when a person begins to use the drug illicitly, most often in its crystalline form (crystal methamphetamine) for its powerful enhancing effects on mood and energy. Tolerance quickly develops, and users have greater difficulty functioning and experiencing pleasure without the drug.

Effects : In 1893 it was synthesized from ephedrine in Japan by chemist Nagayoshi Nagai. In 1919, crystallized it was synthesized by Akira Ogata via reduction of ephedrine using red phosphorus and iodine. In 1887 the related compound amphetamine was first synthesized in Germany by Lazar Edeleanu. []
