Hello Eddy:
>
> What did pemoline do? I've heard people say that it's not very effective. It was withdrawn in the UK ages ago, it was called Volital.Pemoline was not such a bad mild stimulant.It was withdrawn at the time I was investing on the drug due to liver damage cases.

> Chemically, diethylpropion is simular to bupropion (Wellbutrin). It's not surprising really since they both end in -propion! Did they have similar effects?Yes,I noticed the similarity in the name.However,Diethyl is totally different:it is very much like Phentermine and I stayed on it for much longer time,while Bupropion was a horrible journey for me: nasty stimulation,abnormal thinking,abnormal movements,aggression,irritability,depression.Diehyl does not have any of those disgusting effects.In fact no bad side effects except that the good effects does not last long : increase in concentration and focus,some hyperactivity,mild lack of hunger.

> I think mazindol is quite selective as a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. Did it have pretty much the same effect as other stimulants?I think I read somewhere that it has NE reuptake action.Anyway,it is very mild in its action,and no major side effects,but it made me hungry??

> What was phentermine like? You've taken a lot of appetite suppressants. Did they help you to lose the weight that you gained on ADs?!As mentioned Phentermine was very similar to Ditheyl.
All those appetite suppressants did not help a bit with SSRis - induced weight gain.Reduction of food intake and sports did not help either.
The only effective way was to stop the offending SSRi,and I went back to normal weight slowly with no effort.

> Did you take Khat or pharmaceutical D-Norpseudoephedrine? What was it like?I took the pharma khat,not the natural one.Again initially it gave good concentration and motivation and mild appetite suppression,but with continued use all those effects diminished.
>
> How did coca leaves compare with methylphenidate?I took Coca leaves like all people in Andean countries do when they get up to the high mountains.It has a bad bitter taste but worked great for high mountains.
