I have tooken 200mg of No-Doz daily for amphetamine withdrawl, it has worked ok, i dont think about the "stimulation".
I also take L-Tyrosine 1500-3000mg for dopamine depletion at times, it does resemble the effect of amphetamine when taken with caffiene, not exactly, there is more lightheadedness as a side effect, but besides that it does work.
Anyone have a similar experience?

The best amphetamine substitute is, IMHO, high-dose tranylcypromine (Parnate). Shoot for a target dose of 90-200mg/day. If that is not enough, combine it with a NE reuptake inhibitor (reboxetine, desipramine) and/or a dopamine releasing agent (amantadine) and/or a direct DA agonist (bromocriptine, pramipexole, ropinirole, cabergoline).
