It is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Norepineprhine is a stimulating neurotransmitter. It makes you feel up, energetic, and hyperactive. It also increases your heart rate and blood pressure. When norepinephrine is released from nerve cells in the synapse to send a signal on to the next nerve cell, there is a reuptake pump that removes the norepinephrine to cut the signal off. This keeps the pathway from firing to much or too long and preserves the norepinephrine for future use. Cocaine blocks the reuptake system and makes the stimulating stronger and last longer. However it that means that you also deplete your supply of norepinephrine and "crash". This makes you feel tired. So you keep wanting more cocaine to get back to that good (high) feeling, but because you have used up the norepinephrine you never quite reach it. That makes cocaine very addictive.
