Methylphenidate (Concerta) is a mild CNS stimulant that blocks the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine into presynaptic neurons, which appears to stimulate the cerebral cortex and subcortical structures. Atomoxetine (Strattera) and venlafaxine (Effexor) are not CNS stimulants, and bupropion hydrochloride (Buproban) primarily affects dopamine and norepinephrine but is not as potent as methylphenidate in blocking their reuptake.
