Just got my first batch of 2-FA and decided to leave a quick report since there's not much written about it compared to the other RC stims...
BACKGROUND
Dose: Unknown. Little bumps orally and nasally throughout the day. Probably in the 200-300 mg range over 24 hours.
ROA: Mostly oral with a few nasal bumps.
Experience Level: First time. Highly experienced with 4-FA, 2-FMA, ethylphenidate and other RC stims.
Other Substances Consumed: Kratom
EFFECTS
Stimulation--2-FA is truly a classic stimulant. It increases energy and focus the way I'd imagine Adderall/Ritalin do (never tried them). It's mainly a mental stimulation with the desire to submerge oneself into tasks and do repetitive things like making lists & listening to the same CD over and over again. No urge to be physically active, but definitely alert and not sleeping any time soon
Euphoria--Far milder than 4-FA/MDMA/methylone where empathogen euphoria is concerned. There is a mood lift, but it's more of a rushy dopamine type than the mellow, lovey serotonin type. Increased urge to talk and type is noted, so it could be useful for social situations. Definitely better as a functional stimulant than a party drug. I find alertness and increased energy pretty damn euphoric, but that term is usually used to describe the feelings associated w/ MDMA and similar drugs so YMMV.
Side Effects--Every stimulant I've tried has had unique side effects despite their molecular similarity. (2-FMA = stomach pain; 4-FA = low mood; ethylphenidate = vasoconstriction, etc). With 2-FA, jaw tension and headache were most prominent. The headache felt like a combination of dehydration and sinus congestion, not the scary "I'm-about-to-stroke-out" feeling of high BP. Headache might have been attributed to the kratom, allergies or something else. The burn when insufflated is every bit as painful as 4-FA, which is pretty bad. It could possibly dampen appetite in a stimulant-naive user, but I was able to eat normally throughout the day. (Side Note: I've lost about 25 lbs since I started taking stims daily, though it's not related to appetite loss/increased activity. These things really do speed your metabolism! Some days I eat 4,000-5,000 calories and I NEVER exercise...yet I've dropped weight rapidly since starting stims and quitting opium poppy tea).
Possible Uses--2-FA seems ideal for studying, cleaning and other tedious tasks. Personally, I take low doses of stims daily to deal with lethargic depression and fatigue, and 2-FA seems to be a good fit. It's probably the best option for ADHD, chronic fatigue/narcolepsy and other medical conditions if you don't have access to pharmaceutical stimulants (I don't). It feels less compulsive than 2-FMA and doesn't cause the emotional ups and downs of 4-FA, so it's definitely a better choice for regular use if you must use stims. While this is totally subjective, 2-FA certainly *feels* less neurotoxic than 4-FA and doesn't seem to funk with your emotions by depleting serotonin. It's definitely a better substitute for Adderall or cocaine than it would be for MDMA, 4-FA or other empathogens.
Precautions--Same as with other drugs in this class: a little moderation goes a long way. Not sure whether it's worse to use low doses of stimulants daily or large heroic doses occasionally, but 2-FA should be treated with the same respect as other amphetamines. Proper diet and good sleeping habits are vital if you plan to take 2-FA or another stimulant long-term. I wouldn't advise dosing before workouts or other strenuous activities due to the risk of dehydration and cardiovascular strain, but that can be said of any speedy drug.
Sorry if this report is overly detailed and has too much punctuation. Blame it on the 2-FA!
