I agree.If a drug is therapeutic for a medical condition, it is nice to have it available.
It is the responsibility of the physicians to properly prescribe such drugs and for the pharmacies to properly fill the prescriptions. Abuse of this system is punishable by law and liable to civil actions.
Cocaine is still manufactured legally and is available as a prescription drug. So is methamphetamine.
The rest is for the drug enforcement agencies to worry about.
I never had the chance to try amineptine.
