Amineptine use at normal dosages can be stopped suddenly without problems.
Serious amineptine abuse is the use of massive amounts of amineptine (i.e. 1500 mgs./day, just 200mgs. is the max. recommended dose) over a period of months. It may be snorted. It may be used concurrently with speed.
The result of abuse, as I understand it, is large erupting pustules on the body (of unmetabolized amineptine?) and possible liver failure.
