Re amineptine: I apologize for delivering such a crappy explanation.

Amineptine blocks the reuptake of dopamine molecules by the presynaptic neuron. In an unmedicated state, the presynaptic neuron recycles the neurotransmitter it releases by absorbing it back from the synaptic cleft into which it had been released. This process is known as neurotransmitter reuptake. When this process is inhibited by amineptine, the released dopamine remains in the synaptic cleft, thereby allowing the concentration of dopamine within the cleft to rise.
