>The link you provided does not work. As for the question, I remember Dr. Bodkin commenting in an article that MAOI's uniquely provide a more euphoric AD effect than the other classes so I would guess that it is not out of the question that "normal" (whatever the hell that means) people could get a high using them but I would imagine that they would have to wait at least a week for the high.
As for the amphetamine metabolites, from what I understand that theory has been debunked.
