> You misread me.Oh, sorry. You are right. For some reason, i thought that the "former" was Amisulpride. Sulpiride is ok then..
> I tried SULP first, and because I had no tolerance at that point, I experienced the dopamine rush. Later, I acquired AMI mostly for comparison, while I was still taking SULP. Switching from one agent to the other resulted in no remarkable effects, except that I have the faint impression that AMI may be slightly more potent. It will be interesting to see if the DA rush can be reproduced with AMI after some time of abstinence.
Yes, it will be intersting to see that. Keep us informed, please.
> The price difference may depend on where you buy the medicines, but if you consider that you need fewer doses of AMI, you may find the difference more modest.

> I usually notice the stimulating effects of selegiline for 1-2 days at most, and only after a long time of abstinence. However, selegiline has subtle benefits such as the potentiation of other drugs, and 15% increased life-span or so like the rats Knoll wrote about in one of his articles.

> If you want more noticeable effects of selegiline as monotherapy, you need to increase the dose further until the combined effects of MAO-inhibition and amphetamine metabolites become unmistakeable. This style of selegiline-usage has not been well publicised, but would be interesting to learn about.I plan to push the dose at 25mg once or twice just to see how i will react. I don't thing that i will retain this dosage because i will be running out of selegiline in no time, plus that i will have to follow the MAOI diet.
I wonder in what degree the metabolites will contribute to an activating effect, since they are levo- stereoisomers and hence they are expected to have peripheral effect mainly.
