Yes for me the amphetamine effect was pretty noticeable. Read somewhere that every 10 mg of parnate is equal to 1 mg of amphetamine.
Now you hav to understand the amphetamine effect is separate from the ad effect.
When I took 30 mg of parnate at one time I would say that it felt like 15-20 mg of ritalin.
I enjoy the stimulant effect but at 40 mg was to much and was no longer pleasant. I would say the effect was a couple hours max for me. So dividing it into two doses gave me two nice stim during the day.
