3-FA is a synthetic substituted amphetamine and fluorinated designer drug that produces potent stimulant effects. It acts as a monoamine releaser reportedly comparable in potency to methamphetamine, though with greater selectivity for dopamine and norepinephrine over serotonin. Part of a series of fluorinated amphetamine analogs that includes 2-FA and 4-FA, it first appeared on the recreational drug market around 2009. It is rarely encountered on the street, primarily circulating as a research chemical through online vendors.
