I heard that either it is not noradrenergic, or it is but it is selective as to the location where it acts (which would be pretty damned cool, though I don't know how it would come about). Also heard that it may act on GABA and/or glutamate in the reticular activating system. It's not supposed to cause jitters or increased anxiety as amphetamine can. I didn't notice *any* effect, but the 100mg I took is not much at all. (I talked to my doctor on the phone and he said 200 tomorrow would be fine. My blood pressure, incidentally, was unaffected, at 108/65 (I'm taking an MAOI as well).)
