Where is Amneptine still available?

Posted by Tom Twilight on April 9, 2007, at 16:42:30

Where in the world is Amneptine still available?

The only place I know of is Indonisia

I've got this crazy idea to travel to Indonisia to get some.
It would be rather a long shot though!

Is there no where else it can be obtained?

It's currently "off patent" so it CAN be purchased... but NOT legally

Does that mean that some country or company manufactures it as a generic?

so, is amineptine universally ILLEGAL? Or...just in a few countries? I just don't understand its legal status. And..why did it go out of production? B/c of a few cases of addiction and liver problems?

There are a couple of places that sell it online
They are reliable as far as I know

Having said that they are incredibly expensive, we're talking hundreds of $ a month hear folks!
I think thats a bit rotten really, but thats capitalism for you :)

As I said the only place were I "Know" its available is Indonisia-its been discontinued in Brazil.

I has been removed from the market entirely (as of 2005). It can be purchased from individuals who can manufacture the drug, or from a comapny that provides research chemicals.
