Tricyclics boost amphetamine?

Posted by Philidor on July 3, 2004, at 14:53:48

It appears to be no secret that they do:
"Amphetamines may enhance the activity of tricyclic or sympathomimetic agents; d-amphetamine with desipramine or protriptyline and possibly other tricyclics cause STRIKING AND SUSTAINED INCREASES in the concentration of d-amphetamine in the brain; cardiovascular effects can be potentiated." (emphasis mine)

My question is, why has this fact not gotten greater attention and application in the treatment of ADHD and narcolepsy?
