>I assume you're kidding.
I'm just trying to understand the group mind or whatever it is that determines policies about drugs.
Otherwise what's the answer to your very good question, which I shall have to look at again.
A bioethicist was on the radio saying that if Ritalin is safe enough to give to kids it is safe enough to be used routinely by anyone.
My guess is that it's given to kids because it is assumed that they are too young to have figured out how to use it recreationally.
Then there's the issue of school and upbringing generally which we don't want to have to interfere with.
>Why can't something similar be done with amineptine?
Yes, why not? Was it some kind of unwelcome challenge to the serotonin depression connection?
