Is Focalin XR an amphetamine? Is it like an amphetamine?

[Genecks]

Hello, all.

 

I am attempting to read about Focalin XR: d-threo-methylphenidate

 

- wikilink: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dexmethylphenidate

 

I have a few questions:

1. Is it an amphetamine?

2. Is it like an amphetamine?

3. If it is like an amphetamine, then can it give a person delusions of persecution like an amphetamine?

 

I know the third question goes into the realm of psychiatry, but those three questions are of my primary interest at the moment.
