Mephedrone
Mephedrone is a synthetic stimulant from the class of cathinones, primarily acting through the inhibition of the reuptake of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. It produces stimulating and euphoric effects but can also cause side effects such as palpitations, anxiety, and neurotoxic effects. The substance is often consumed as a designer drug and carries a moderate risk for acute and chronic health damage.
