Why did aMT fall out of clinical use?
Wikipedia says "However, within a short amount of time both drugs fell out of clinical use due to toxicity concerns"
But I can't find anything else. What caused the concerns? Because I can't find anything about aMT being toxic in such small doses.

AMT was in use for years in the old soviet union under the name Indopan. Only AET was withdrawn because of toxicity issues (fatal agranulocytosis), about a year after it's US release in the 60s
I've heard someone say (or write here perhaps) once that too blissed out grannies may have been the reason.
I can see the big fat smiles on their faces already.
Its somehow understandable though, for the public this may just be a little 'too much' in terms of depression relief, also I have my doubts about frequent use, how frequently dosed was a regular prescription?
Anyway I think Indopan came in 5 and 10 mg, well 10 mg made snow crystals really sparkle for me. I have absolute awe for aMT but nonetheless it feels like a drug, even if it is a great drug.
As an illustration: I find GHB to be much more of a drug than phenibut. Its great, but GHB is just too much to go and use for regular mood enhancement. Phenibut is okay when used off and on IME.
So I guess the abuse potential is a factor in some way then as well, having said this.

AMT is one of the most powerful psychedelics I've tried. I have no idea how anyone could take it daily, even in small doses.

^I would assume tolerance builds rather quickly with daily use.
I didn't want to start a whole new thread on this so I'll ask it here... Any thoughts on the tranylcypromine verson of aMT : 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)cyclopropanamine in terms of activity?
aMT felt lame to me, it lacked the magic that others have, I'd down 200mg at a shot with no problem but it all seemed boring to me. Maybe I should have mixed it with a DRI or something
