Name error

edit

The correct name is "naphthylaminopropane" (with two h), not "napthylaminopropane". Somebody with enough privileges should change the name of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.58.27.10 (talk) 12:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

DAT & NET but not SERT for habituation?

edit

This would explain the euphoria of phenmetrazine, but not why cocaine is preferred over methylphenidate, etc. Perhaps it is certain SERT receptors only that result in habituation, or certain indirect SERT agonism satisfies more fully, or (and this is likely in my opinion as a firm believer in habituation around metabolic osmosis) the body gauges serotonin depletion with more earnesty & seriousness than the more easily developed endogenous precursors to dopamine. Perhaps it is that cocaine inhibits the reuptake of serotonin only; perhaps a dopamine releaser that is somehow also a serotonin reuptake inhibitor would create the most reinforcement.(?) Napthylaminopropane is a non-neurotoxic DA releaser, does this mean it releases DA by a process other than phosphorylation? Nagelfar (talk) 06:18, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply
