RCs Comparing effects of 4-FA and Ethylphenidate

[desertracer543]

Hello! Although I have read the megathreads for both 4-FA and Ethylphenidate, I haven't seen any comparisons between the two. I understand that both of these are somewhat different in their effect profiles but I was wondering if anyone who has experience with both could comment on their differences. Also, in terms of euphoria, how do the two compare?

Other than they are both stimulants they are completely different imo.

EPH:
- short duration
- no serotonin

4-FA:
- long duration
- two phases, first few h have a serotonin component, after that fades you're left with a pure stimulant component

Both are euphoric but it's a different kind of euphoria (hard to put in words)...

Oh they do have one thing in common - snorting is extremely painful :D

Not many similarities. Both are stimulants. 4-fa has a warm glowing feeling lasts for a while. Ethylphenidate is more clinical and cold as well as shorter acting. I honestly can't stand either one.
So many other enjoyable dopamine releasing chemicals out there. Just like someone else said they both burn. 4-fa feels like getting kicked in the face.
