I've read in several places that it also has some kind of norepinephrine effect as well as some tonic effect at the dopamine D2 receptors. I think its ability to boost blood flow to the brain might actually be one of the least of its good things.
I tried it in a low dose for a short time. On first impression, I would say it felt noradrenergic to me. Stimulating at first, almost uncomfortable, with some noticeable mood boosting on the first day, but after about a week it did feel like some decent anti-anxiety was happening.
Hmm. Can't remember why I stopped it. That was stupid. Should have kept taking it.
