generic:
None (1) · Tea (1)
brand:
''Camellia sinensis'' (formerly ''Thea sinensis'') (1) · Qelbree (1)
classes:
Caffeine plant (1) · Excitantia (1) · non-stimulant ADHD agent (1) · Plant Medicine (1) · Selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (NRI) with 5HT1A partial agonism (1)
mechanism:
Caffeine + theophylline + L-theanine. L-theanine (an amino acid unique to tea) modulates glutamate and produces an 'alpha-wave' calming overlay on caffeine's stimulation, hence tea's reputation as a 'cleaner' stimulant than coffee. (1) · Selective NET inhibitor (no significant DAT activity, distinguishes from amphetamine/methylphenidate). Also: 5HT1A receptor partial agonism, 5HT2B and 5HT7 receptor antagonism. The serotonergic actions may underlie better tolerability and possibly different efficacy spectrum than atomoxetine. (1)
