1,3-dimethylamylamine (geranamine)

[Nicaine]

Is this stuff a phenethylamine? If so, pls move the thread to the appropriate forum.

SWIM acquired a gram of the pure 1,3-dimethylamylamine, which is used in a bodybuilding product called "Amp" by Ergopharm. It is ostensibly a relatively unknown stimulant, discovered in the 1950s and abandoned at some point (others can elaborate if they want, I'm a bit sketchy on details).

Anyway, SWIM just finished an ill-advised extended binge on another substance, but couldn't help snorting a tiny line of this stuff when he received it -- probably around 10mg. He had just gotten out of bed and was still half asleep.

SWIM told me that snorting it burns a bit, but nothing serious. It seems to be "insufflatable" and this could be a recommended form of ingestion.

The stuff quickly woke SWIM up (expected), but what took him by surprise was an immediate and surprisingly strong euphoria, particularly for such a small dosage. At least in a small dose he noticed no rapid heartrate, sweating, jitters or other troublesome peripheral effects typical of some stimulants.

Given the euphoria, the stuff seems promising. Further research is called for, but it's going to be at least a week of downtime before SWIM indulges heavily in a stimulant again. Perhaps a few more tiny bumps to help his energy levels, but this won't indicate what higher doses would be like.

Posts from others who came across this stuff are welcomed, of course...
