My friend is taking it and i would
Like to get to know what is the main mechanism and potentially offer natural alternative. -
Seens it primarily increases dopamine, (and norepinephrine a bit also) which would lower prolactin and serotonin (two stress related substances iirc).
Alternatives...
- boost metabolism (mitochondria repair etc)
- boost dopamine
- lower serotonin and prolactin
- lower cortisol/ACTH/(estrogen?) aka anti-stress
Some quotes on Medikinet:
Medikinet is an extended-release methylphenidate medication, while Ritalin is a short-acting methylphenidate medication
Methylphenidate primarily acts as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI).
Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant and increases the activity of the central nervous system through inhibition on reuptake of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine.
Methylphenidate is most active at modulating levels of dopamine (DA) and to a lesser extent norepinephrine (NE). Methylphenidate binds to and blocks dopamine transporters (DAT) and norepinephrine transporters (NET).
