I was wondering how amineptine compares to other stimulants that you've tried?

It's extremely mild. Think of a subtle mood lift, some extra motivation, some extra anxiety if you're into that kind of thing. It's not like any regular stim at all.

Was abuse potential not the reason then for banning it?

Yes it was, but people who took it recreationally swallowed buckets full of it. Nowadays, the amineptine that is still available is so insanely expensive that it would probably be easier on your wallet to snort cocaine than to indulge in amineptine binge swallowing.

So would you say dextro or mixed amphetamine salts are a more potent euphoriant?

I wonder whether it really is amineptine?

I'm a believer. It's a gut feeling. My wife nearly killed me though when she saw the amount I had spent on amineptine.

I wonder if DRI would be effective in ADHD without the NRI component. I've seen studies showing that L-Dopa is not effective.
