I'm assuming bipolarspectrum meant to say "very intense orgasms"! One could hardly oppose such a side effect...does anyone prefer a "weak and wimpy orgasm"? Just food for thought there, and perhaps a little humor. In fact, one alleged problem with amineptine was "spontaneous orgasm", which (intense or wimpy) could be a problem in the middle of a job interview, for example. This was supposedly a rare occurrence, however, and the main reason for removing amineptine from most marketrs was its association, again rarely ocurring, with a serious blood disorder (I don't remember the name). Unfortunately, we potential benefactors were denied the chance to make our own risk assessments, and many believed that the risk/benefit ratio was heavily in favor of approval. Amineptine was possibly the best purely dopaminergic drug to hit the market. I tried to locate and procure it myself, but finally gave up. Now I'm on a trial with Parnate, undoubtedly more "dangerous" than amineptine, but still legal. After 3weeks, and currently being held to a low 30mg/day dose by my provider, I'm getting nothing but afternoon lethargy, insomnia, and a worsening of amotivation and anhedonia. If I can get approval I do plan to push this trial to higher doses of 60+mg/day, as many people don't benefit till they get to that level. If no luck with Parnate, my "Plan B" is selegiline and PEA. I would try Amineptine for sure if it were available (marketed as Survector). Regards from sailor.
