Thanks for sharing your amineptnie experience.
One possible explanation for the diminished quality of later experiences in comparison with the first may be that the supplier has resorted to deluting ("cutting") the amineptine with cheaper filler ingredients. This might be noticeable as subtle changes in taste, texture or solubility. However, this is just speculation.
At the usual doses, amineptine is a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, much like methylphenidate, which is a dopamine and noradrenaline reuptake inhbitor. At high doses, ampineptine may also elicit enhanced release of dopamine, much like amphetamines (and phenylethylamine, PEA).
I suspect that amineptine may also have additional properties, some of which may possibly be shared by tianeptine (Stablon, Coaxil), a stucturally similar antidepressant from the same company and that is not a dopamine reuptake inhibitor.
It may be interesting to compare the effects of amineptine with those of tianeptine, and perhaps more pertinently, the combination of tianeptine with methylphenidate, modafinil or both.
