Fluorexetamine should not be confused with fluoxetine.
Fluorexetamine (3'-Fluoro-2-oxo-PCE, 3-FXE) is a recreational designer drug from the arylcyclohexylamine family, with dissociative effects. It has reportedly been sold over the internet since around 2017, though has remained relatively uncommon.[1]
In April 2023 it was revealed by DrugsData.org that all their previously analyzed samples of fluorexetamine actually contained 2'-Fluoro-2-oxo-PCE (2-FXE, also known as CanKet) rather than 3'-Fluoro-2-oxo PCE (3-FXE). This was confirmed by a newly available reference standard for 2-FXE.[2] Similar misidentification may have occurred in other laboratories.
